Getting The Boss To Agree

Thursday June 11, 2009
When you ask your boss for things, does he or she always agree? Mine doesn't. Over the years I have had to spend time learning to manage my boss. It is a skill that gets even more important during times like these.

Managing upward can be almost as hard as managing your people. One of the secrets I have learned in that time is How To Get Your Boss To Agree. It doesn't work every time, but it works more often than any other approach. Give it a try and then stop by our Management Forum and share with the group what you learned.
