The Art of Managing Up

This book was eye opening for someone like me, who is a typical lone wolf and somewhat of an introvert. I’m good at what I do (almost perfect I would say) but I find it incredibly difficult to understand why I struggle to navigate career change, especially when it comes to having to deal with other people (people who are vital to me progressing in my career.)

This book provided much needed context on how my ability to manage myself in a way that allows me to manage others around me and their expectations (valid or invalid) in a way that should make the career progression process a little less jarring for me.

The lessons are explained in a straight forward and simple way, allowing me as a reader to make decisions on what my next steps should be.

Definitely recommend reading it!
