Managing Up: Improving Upward Influence

The concept of managing up is simple -- in order for you to influence decision-makers, you need to learn how to speak their language and show initiative when it comes to solving problems. Even as an entry-level manager, you can have a lot of influence over decisions just by working closely with your direct manager and even executives.

In this stream, we'll be talking with IT leaders about how they manage their managers through constant communication, proper expectations, and frank discussions about business impact so that they're able to better influence decisions on a broader scale.
