About this listen
Professional advice to help you manage one of your most important relationships at work, showing you how to communicate more effectively and openly, and allowing you to build a rewarding and healthy relationship with your manager.
Of all the working relationships you have with colleagues, the one with your boss is probably the most important. How it functions can make the all difference between looking forward to going to work in the morning, or actively dreading it. Moving part of the relationship online, and having to communicate via emails or video calls, has the potential to make things even more challenging.
Whether you already have a good relationship that you want to build on, or a fraught one that you feel can be improved, this book can help. Manage Your Boss offers practical and effective advice on surviving personality clashes, delegating upwards, developing your influencing and diplomacy skills, and boosting your chances of promotion.©2022 Bloomsbury Publishing (P)2022 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc
