From the Problogger ‘How To…’ Group Writing Project, From flippingHECK: How to manage your manager:
Why should you manage your manager?
There have been several companies I’ve worked for in the past that, whilst having a good “social” relationship with my manager(s), I have felt un-wanted and un-rewarded by what I would class as bad management.
When I say “bad”, I don’t mean evil in a Freddie Kruger way, it can come in a variety of styles and disguises. Not only can they drive you to a nervous breakdown with their ineffectual management styles, they can also make you look exceptionally stupid and kill any chance of a pay rise/promotion/parking place that you may once had.
Bad managers are everywhere – you may even be one yourself and not even know it! Whilst some of this article takes a rather lighthearted (even tongue in cheek) look at managing a manager, I think there are some important points here that you’ll hopefully be able to use on your own boss (or indeed yourself).
Lucky me, I don’t have to worry about this. But — who knows — maybe The Leggy Blonde will want to look it over. If you’re unlucky enough to have a boss — or a sales manager, which might actually be worse — this article offers some sound advice for surmounting that obstacle…
