The most important part of being a great boss is focusing on the people who work for you. Perhaps the second most important element is learning to effectively manage upward. Doing this well can be a great help to the people that work for you.
Even the CEO works for the Chair of the Board, and the Chair for the shareholders, big and small. We all work for somebody, or almost all of us do. When you talk to entrepreneurs they speak about the incredible power of customers, their banker and suppliers. For our own careers, but even more for those we manage, the ability to manage upward well can be a considerable help to them reaching their annual objectives and advancing their careers.
