Are You Alined on Your Expectations?

Some people are interested in managing up for performance reasons, not to get promoted. As long as you're alined on the expectations of what you need to be doing to achieve that promotion, and you have transparent communication around it, then that's all you need. When we don't know quite what our manager is expecting us to do, or they have some expectations that they have not made clear to us, that's when we're always running into these issues. You want to be able to start that whole conversation early by simply having a very transparent way of having that communication and knowing what those expectations are.
