Managing Multiple Bosses: The Art and Science of "Managing Up"
![]() |
| Managing Multiple Bosses |
OVERVIEW
"Managing
Up" is the way we describe working effectively with our boss. When you
have more than one boss, this is not an option. Learn to use your talents and
skills to work successfully with more than one boss. Enhance your skills and
learn new ones to be more efficient, effective, and successful in overcoming
challenges and getting the results all your bosses expect.
Most
people find it challenging enough to work well with even ONE boss. If you're
working with two bosses – or MORE – the challenge may seem insurmountable.
Dealing with the workload is tough, but now you must manage multiple
communications styles, sets of expectations, schedules, projects, and more.
This
can mean multiple headaches. Even if the "official” designation is 50% of
your time for Mr. A. and 50% of your time for Ms. B., the reality is BOTH may act as if 100% of your time is devoted to them!
Today,
many businesses are organized so it is common to report to several different
managers. For many professionals being assigned to 3 or more people is the rule
rather than the exception. You can thrive in this new world and function
successfully, effectively, and efficiently, managing multiple projects.
Learn
strategies for working with multiple bosses in a diplomatic, practical, and
successful way, to get your work done and keep all of them satisfied.
WHY
SHOULD YOU ATTEND
Working
for multiple bosses can be frustrating, intimidating, and emotionally draining.
No matter what level in the organization you occupy, having more than one
person calling the shots require agility and stamina. Learn to recognize the
requirements of differing personalities, plan to integrate all assignments,
negotiate coordination among bosses, communicate effectively, get the results
each boss expects, and how to approach the boss when conflict arises at work.
Learn
to adapt to this sort of management successfully while minimizing stress and
struggle and know about the challenges managers face in the workplace.
