Recommendation

Leadership expert and four-time author Roberta Chinsky Matuson knows that to succeed you must manage your relationship with your boss and with those who report to you. Her book features a unique format: Start at the front of the book with the “Managing Up” cover, read the text that follows and learn how to manage your boss. Flip the book over, open the “Managing Down” cover and learn how to manage your team. Thus, the author provides two separate books with two separate covers within the same binding. getAbstract believes that Matuson’s book will dramatically help you become a better manager and advance your career.

Take-Aways

  • No one trains you to be a manager; teach yourself how to manage people.
  • They don’t teach “managing up” in college or in most management training courses, yet this skill is critical for career success.
  • You need to manage your boss so you can get the resources you and your people need to be successful.
