Six weeks at a glance
The higher you go, the more your success depends on people you don't manage: your boss, your peers, the executive team and the board. Most senior leaders were never taught how to work with them.
Leading Upward is practical, not theoretical. More than half of every 90-minute session is real-play in groups of three, on the conversations you're actually facing.
Kick-off, week of Jan 11
A one-to-one session to set your goals with GROW and map the senior relationships that matter most
1. Managing up
Understand your boss's priorities, pressures and preferred style
2. Briefing senior people
Lead with the bottom line, then the decision you need
3. Influencing without authority
Win support from people you don't manage
4. High-stakes feedback
Give feedback upward and sideways, and handle the response
5. Presence and visibility
Be heard in the room, and known for the right things
6. Putting it together
Run your hardest real conversation, with feedback from the group
Final review
A one-to-one session to review progress against your goals and set a 90-day plan
