We’ve identified how you can manage up to more senior leaders in the sessions so far, but wait. Aren’t you a leader now? If you’re attending LeadDev Together, you probably are (or will be stepping into those shoes in the near future) – and you know what that means. In all likelihood, now your ICs are managing up – and the person they’re managing up to is you. 

So how do you manage when you’re being managed up? And how do you show that you’re listening, understanding a problem, and eager to make a change? 

In this session, we’ll outline how to deal with being on the receiving end of managing up, and how to create a constructive two-way relationship.
