Managing up means understanding what's important - not just to your boss, but your boss's chain of command, and working in ways to demonstrate you are on board and working to achieve those goals. Managing up means working on items that are of immediate concern and value to your manager, and going beyond the call to begin to anticipate his or her needs. 2, record 1, English, - managing%20up

Dans notre régime parlementaire, les ministres sont comptables au Parlement et leurs ministères travaillent tous les jours à leur aider à s'acquitter de leurs responsabilités. Cette orientation ascendante vers les ministres et leurs besoins ou objectifs est tout à la fois indiquée et fort louable, car elle constitue un élément essentiel de notre système démocratique de gouvernement. Cependant, elle a des effets secondaires. L'un d'eux est l'attention excessive accordée à la «gestion ascendante». 1, record 1, French, - gestion%20ascendante
