Expert Insights: Managing Up with Mary Abbajay

Welcome to “Expert Insights: Managing Up with Mary Abbajay,” a video course created to help you create a positive and productive relationship with the boss you have, not the boss you wish you had. Presented by Mary Abbajay, author of Managing Up: How to Move Up, Win at Work, and Succeed with Any Type of Boss, this course comprises 14 lessons and is part of our Expert Insights series. To start, this course explains why managing up matters and outlines how to close the gap between your style and your boss’ style. You’ll also learn how to work with your boss’s energy rather than against it based on whether they’re an introvert or an extrovert. Plus, you’ll discover key strategies for managing up with a variety of bosses, including micromanagers, workaholics, harmonizers, evaluators, and more. Finally, this course offers tips for managing up in a virtual or hybrid environment and describes how to conduct a conversation in which you discover your boss’s preferences, priorities, and pet peeves. In the end, you should feel confident in your ability to manage up with any boss, no matter their habits and characteristics!
