About LessonsIn this course, Molly shares her framework for managing up — not as a set of tricks for handling your boss, but as the ongoing work of decoding another human being.
This is a limited feed-provided excerpt, not the full original work.
Apollo layer
Treat managing up as an ongoing effort to understand how a leader thinks, communicates, prioritizes, and makes decisions—not as a collection of tactics for controlling the relationship.
Founders need people to coordinate effectively across differences in context and working style. Better mutual understanding can reduce friction, sharpen communication, and help teams act with greater alignment.
Before your next meeting with a leader, ask: What outcomes do they care about, what information helps them decide, and where might I be relying on assumptions instead of clarifying their needs?
