I had a great time talking with Roberta Matuson about managing up, down and all across the organization, and her updated 3rd edition of "Suddenly In Charge: Managing Up, Managing Down, Succeeding All Around". Here are some gold nuggets she shared: 1. Don't worry about managing down if you don't manage up - you won't have a chance to! 2. A few best practices: learn to decode your boss's style, ask for what you need, pick your battles 3. Some great ways to approach are to ask permission first, make sure it's good timing, and ask their preference about how they'd prefer to have the conversation. (PS - Check out the last two minutes for a lightening round where we share best and worst case scenarios we've seen in managing up, down, and sideways!)
