Great leadership isn’t just about managing teams.

🔹 It’s about managing relationships in every direction; up, down and across.
🔹 Because how you lead others, shapes your outcomes, energy, and impact.

🚫 Managing up gets harder when your boss:

→ lacks technical expertise
→ feels insecure or competitive
→ struggles to lead effectively

It’s frustrating – and it’s not fair.
But it is manageable.

💭 They might be under pressure too:
➡️ Out of their depth
➡️ Anxious about appearing credible
➡️ Unsure how to lead

That doesn’t excuse poor leadership – but recognising it helps you respond strategically.

When leadership falls short, good work can go unrecognised – draining momentum and morale.
💥 But how you respond can shift the dynamic and protect your progress.

🎯 Try this today:

✅ Let go of how your boss should lead
✅ Make your value visible – link it to their goals
✅ Frame updates in terms they value
✅ Strengthen relationships that amplify your impact

🧠 Managing up is leadership.
It protects your energy, sharpens your influence, and keeps your progress on track.

⭐️ When good people leave, everyone loses.
⭐️ But when they stay and lead up – the culture gets stronger.
