Career Contessa

Often, leadership focuses on how to manage others, specifically on how to manage and lead those that you directly supervise however it is also equally important to manage your supervisor, aka managing “up”. Managing your boss is a skill and that’s why we invited Jackie Ross, author and managing up expert, to share four tips for managing up successfully. Plus, on Dear Career Contessa, we’ll help a reader determine where to start her career transition when the advice “find your passion” isn’t working for her.
