Everyone has a boss. And anyone who has aspired to move up the
corporate ladder knows that their relationship with those they
report to is crucial. In "Managing Up" Rosanne Badowski offers a
straightforward, entertaining, no-holds-barred account of what it
takes to make your relationship with your boss work to your
advantage, no matter where you stand in the corporate hierarchy.
Told through rich, colorful anecdotes about her years spent working
with one of the smartest, most demanding and dynamic business
leaders of the twentieth century, legendary GE CEO Jack Welch,
Badowski reveals the secrets to career success she has gleaned over
the years. At heart, it's about working with the person above you
to create a productive and effective partnership.
Everyone is a manager, in one way or another, Badowski points out.
She discusses first-hand what it's like to have to be a mind
reader, to anticipate the future, to plan for the unexpected, and
to perform the impossible. With refreshing candor and a hint of
attitude, Badowski's advice is unlike any other. She advises us
that "Impatience is a virtue," to "Have no shame," and to "Beware
the too-quiet office." Having worked in one of the most
challenging, high-profile corporate environments anywhere, no one
knows more about prioritizing, about making decisions on behalf of
your boss, about sifting through a daily barrage of data and
information, about multitasking at warp speed, and exhibiting grace
under fire. Ultimately, Badowski says, excelling at what you do is
about a shared passion for the job.
"Managing Up" is an invaluable guide for managing your career and
juggling responsibilities with finesse and confidence. It should
become a management bible for anyone hoping to get ahead in their
profession.
