Horrible Bosses and Managing Up: Q&A with Marty and Em

Horrible Bosses and Managing Up: Q&A with Marty and Em

Episode 140 // In this week’s Q&A, we’re going to cover two questions about the subtle art of managing upwards and how to deal with a passive aggressive boss.


We do get an awful lot of questions about how to deal with those leaders above you, so much so that we’re actually planning out a mini-course about it!


In the meantime, the two questions we’ve chosen for this episode cover the main issues that we see. The first question from Genevieve is about how to influence upwards when you feel as though you don’t have any basis for doing so, and the second from Chris is about working under a passive aggressive boss.


We cover a lot of ground in this one, dialling it right down to the practical questions you can ask your boss today to better influence up the line. If you've got a horrible boss, this episode is going to give you the perspective and practical tips you need to move forward with confidence!


A few other useful podcasts that we mention during this episode are:


Episode #132 What do CEOs Do?

Episode #134 Being More Strategic

Episode #138 It's Not WHAT You Know

Episode #110 Getting In The Arena

Your boss wants more with less. Your team wants less, full stop. You're stuck in the middle.
