Τι θα μάθετε
Managing Up is about how to sell an idea “up” the organization. You’ll learn the importance of planning how to communicate with managers and colleagues, and now to manage priorities and expectations. Equally important to how we communicate our ideas, we’ll learn how to effectively receive suggestions and feedback.
Γιατί θέλετε να το μάθετε
No matter how intelligent and well-informed an organization’s leaders are, they can’t always see the big picture in every situation. We may find ourselves wanting to communicate ideas and suggestions to managers in a way that will improve the overall leadership of the organization, even if we’re not in official leadership positions ourselves.
