Day Day Up with Mr Jonathan
When managing up makes things worse
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most “manage up” advice fails because it assumes your boss is rational.
In this episode, we unpack what to do when power isn’t logical, and how to protect your career anyway. Learn what to do when managing up doesn't work, and how to navigate power without burning out.
