Happy Leap Day! Sausers, have you had a manager you've worked with for many years, where everything gels, and you know how to communicate, and it's just easy? And suddenly, that manager shifts to a new role, and you have a new manager. How do you get to that 'easy' place you had with your previous manager? How do you make sure your manager knows how best to communicate with you and what you are working on. Your hosts define and discuss how to 'manage up' and why it is just so important. This conversation is led by an article by Culture Amp (linked below). Enjoy, Sausers! Culture Amp article linked here
