What You'll Learn Inside The Ultimate Guide to Managing Up

You'll Learn Your Boss's Leadership Style

I will walk you through a customized exercise designed by me that will help you determine your boss's leadership style. This is the first step in learning how to manage up. You must know your boss's style so you can customize your approach. Without this critical knowledge, you go in blind to each conversation leaving the door open to potential conflict. 

You'll Learn Custom Communication Strategies

I will walk you through exactly how to communicate,  share updates, receive feedback, and even provide feedback to your boss. Who would've thought this was possible 10 years ago? During this course my goal is for you to learn that these strategies not only apply to your boss, but to all leaders and colleagues across your place of work! We are all just people, afterall. 

You'll Learn Advanced Managing Up Strategies

Managing up to an executive - is that possible? Yes, it is. I will walk you through exactly how to manage executive interactions. We will also deep dive into managing up to leaders you don't report to in a matrix environment as well as how to think about peer-level interactions.

This training was very informative of leadership styles, communication methods, and general tactics for sometimes complicated situations. I really appreciated the authenticity of the presenter. The real life situations discussed felt like they could be applicable to myself and my own experiences instead of something that could never happen. I really liked the deeper dive into the matrix of styles and best ways to communicate with each. I appreciate the downloadable content for future use as well. This training was well organized and thoughtful. It gave me a lot to think about regarding my own tendencies, my current leadership, and what I'd like to see in my future roles. I really look forward to future trainings.

It really makes you evaluate yourself and how you interact with leadership. What really hit with me is to not assume intentions and to and plan for all types of reaction as well as the ability to reign yourself in and put distance between stimulus and response. I also found the layout of different leadership styles helpful, I think we should all take a good look at how we lead and if that style coincides with the types of employees we may have.

The content in this course is relevant. There are many different flavors and versions of this content, but Tony provides a great breakdown. A lot of managing up is self-awareness and observation to be able to adjust one's style taking out your own bias and understanding their mindset. Tony does a great job of breaking it down.

About Me

My name is Tony. I’ve spent nearly 20 years leading teams from the ground floor to the executive level - managing multiple multi-million dollar programs and learning the hard way what actually works in leadership. I’ve made mistakes, had wins, and seen what gets people ahead in their careers (and what gets them stuck). Through it all, I’ve learned how to lead up, down, and across my organization, regardless of the team or organization size I found myself. This course is the guide I wish I had earlier in my career. It’s built for ambitious professionals who want real-world strategies—not corporate fluff—to navigate leadership and move up faster. I’m obsessed with helping people grow their careers the smart way. Let’s get to work.

No fluff, no corporate jargon, just real-life strategies that get results even from the most difficult managers you may have to work with. Regardless of if you're trying to move up, speak up, or stop being micromanaged, this is the career skill no one teaches but everyone needs if they want to be successful.  Let’s fix that.
