LC143: Leading Upwards

LeapCard 143 offers a framework for managing relationships with bosses, called “Leading Upwards”. It provides a grid with actions for either the self or the boss.

Self-focused actions include declaring priorities, making contributions known, and unbiased documentation.

Boss-focused actions include understanding goals, limiting surprises, and seeking advice. Clear communication, offering options with recommendations, and empathy are emphasized. The central theme is balancing individual needs with boss expectations, aiming for transparency, proactivity, and mutual respect.
