E8: Managing Up: A Key Skill For Remote Work Success

In this episode, we dive into strategies for managing up with hands-off managers, inspired by Irina Cozma's article in Harvard Business Review. Building on leadership skills discussed in episode 7, we explore the three C's: coaching, communication, and consulting skills, and how to apply them to manage up effectively. Learn how to ask pointed questions, position yourself as a partner to your manager, and create connection and shared accountability so you can set yourself up for success in your relationship with your manager while working remotely.
