Right Altitude Field Guide to Managing Up, The

di Don Eash (Autore)

Don Eash Press, 2026

Managing up isn’t politics. It’s translation. You do excellent work. The people who decide your future have no idea. When your name comes up in the room where promotions get decided, your boss can’t make the case, because you never gave them the words. The gap was never your performance. Nobody translated it upward. Most leaders who feel micromanaged, overlooked, or second-guessed decide the boss is the problem. Usually it’s the format. The thorough weekly report sitting unread. The 30-slide deck when the boss needed 3 bullets. Good work doesn’t speak for itself. It whispers. This field guide is about making your value visible without playing politics, built around 5 practices: Reading Your Boss. How your boss takes in information, decides, and what keeps them up at night, and how to deliver your work in the format that lands. The Strategic Narrative. 3 sentences your boss can repeat in a talent review without you in the room. The Friday Update. 3 bullets every week that quiet the status requests and build the record that speaks for you. The Sponsor Map. The 5 people who influence your next move, and the difference between a mentor, an advocate, and a sponsor. Pushing Back Without Pushing Away. Disagree before the decision, commit fully after it, and make your agreement mean something. Each practice comes with coaching questions, a 48-hour experiment, and a 30-day build, plus the 5 managing up patterns and a plan for your first 90 days with a new boss. The stories are drawn from coaching conversations. The goal was never to manage your boss. You can’t. The goal is to manage what you do control: what reaches them, in what form, and how often. Includes a downloadable companion PDF. Part of The Right Altitude Field Guide series by executive coach Don Eash, MCC, ACTC.
