Knowing Your Manager—
and Yourself
M
anaging up is a constant process. It takes
keen observation and a willingness to ad-
just your behavior on a daily basis. But
once you and your boss have built a trusting relation-
ship on a solid foundation, cultivating it becomes eas-
ier and less time-intensive. The fi rst step in getting
to that happy place is identifying where you and your
boss stand, both professionally and personally.
