Whether you have just one boss or you’re working in a matrix with multiple managers or senior stakeholders, you’ll find the book full of tips, tools and challenging questions to help you and your boss get the most from what is one of the most important relationships in your working life.
It’s a book that’ll help you influence, get that promotion, progress your career. It’s a handbook for upwards leadership and truly enjoying your job.
It’s also a book that’ll get leaders thinking differently about the way they lead. They’ll want to share it with their teams, because this isn’t a book about judging your boss or tricking them into making life easy for you. It’s about having an adult-to-adult relationship and managing up for mutual gain.
