May 24, 2010Tips to manage the manager. Interview with @danmulhern Everyday Leaders

Filed under: Admin Assistants by merylrunion |

When Dan Mulhern invited me on his Every Day Leader show, neither one of us know it would take the direction it did. He kept asking me for phrases to speak to a manager who hasn’t gotten you the information you need to move forward. I kept talking about the conversationsĀ  to manage our managers before the situation gets to that point. It’s called being proactive.

You can read Dan’s post about it here and listen to the podcast here. I describe the conversations we all need to have to establish great working relationships with our managersĀ  in the CD that comes at the back of my SpeakStrong book. It really is about being an everyday leader – taking charge BEFORE there are problems – whether we have the word leader in our title or not.
