Did you know Managing Up has a Super Human Score of 8.63?
Ben Meer, who created the score, nailed it when he called managing up an underrated skill – totally agree!
His clever strategy, Friday Highlights, caught my attention. You sync up with your manager every Friday via email. Simple, right?
Here's why I'm all in:
1. Organize Your Impact: It's a great move to structure your thoughts on your impact.
2. Simplify Your Manager's Life: Imagine making your manager's life easier while keeping them in the loop. Friday Highlights does just that.
3. Consistency and Accountability: Two keys to success. This strategy delivers both. Consistency and accountability – check!
But here's how I'd expand this approach:
A. Calm and Centered: Before drafting your Friday Highlight, get in the zone and feel centered. It's a gift you're giving – treat it that way.
B. Celebrate Your Wins: As you list your accomplishments, take a moment to celebrate. A smile, a mental pat on the back, or 15 seconds of deep breathing – you've earned it!
C. Align Big Tasks with Genius: When outlining your big tasks, ask, "Do these align with my zones of excellence or genius?" If not, tweak them until they do.
