Managing Up: How to Get What You Need from the People in Charge book cover

Even if you’re a CEO, realizing your vision as a leader depends on your relationships with key gatekeepers. In Managing Up, Melody Wilding — a high-profile executive coach who has worked with leaders at Google, JPMorgan and Verizon — offers a clear roadmap on how to cultivate more productive relationships with the leaders in your life who have more “positional power” than you. You’ll learn how to communicate with them more effectively, expand your bench of valuable connections and advocates, and showcase your accomplishments without seeming like a self-promoter. Wilding is the ideal guide for any Social Capital leader who wants to have a greater impact.
