Managing up is about being effective in your role, from communication to project management to emotional intelligence, these are the skills that make you highly valuable at work.
Sure, managing up is about knowing how to anticipate what your boss needs from you, but it also means knowing how to navigate different personalities at work, knowing your boss’s work style (and your own), and how to bring up problems - not ignore them.
