Listen "Roberta Matuson | Building Bridges Up and Across: The Art of Workplace Influence"
Episode Synopsis
Join this week’s episode of Helping Organisations Thrive where we are joined by Roberta Matuson to explore managing up and office politics.
We dive straight into exploring what managing up is, what it looks like, and why this is an essential skill for leaders to master. Roberta shares the challenges that leaders often face with managing up. As Roberta reflects on her own personal experiences, we discuss ways that leaders can start to implement managing up in their day-to-day work. Listen as we discuss the ‘taboo’ subject of office politics and learn something new as we explore it through a different lens. We wrap up the episode by delving into the complexities of our hybrid world. Roberta encourages listeners to be even more intentional with relationship building in a hybrid working environment: this is the key to successful managing up and navigation of office politics.
