What does "Managing Up" really mean?

Managing up is the skill of fostering a strong, productive relationship with your manager and shaping the decisions that impact you.

It’s about positioning yourself as a key player, someone who influences rather than simply follows.

How do you see your manager? How do they see you? And how can you bridge that gap to create a more effective working dynamic?

In this Skills Taster Session with Russell Caird, you will learn how to navigate diverse personalities, refine your communication skills, and showcase your own unique qualities.

Inspired by our Supercharge Your Team Comms workshop, this fast-paced 30-minute webinar is your shortcut to clearer, calmer communication—personally and across the team. We’ll unpack some of the unspoken “rules” around tools, messages and expectations that often lead to confusion or overwhelm. You’ll walk away with practical ways to create shared clarity, reduce noise, and set your team up to collaborate more effectively. Think of it as a comms detox… the Ninja way.
