One makes you liked. The other makes you promoted. There's a line between brown-nosing and actually managing up — and most people never learn where it is. Managing up isn't flattery. It's making your boss's job easier so they can't afford to lose you. Save this before your next 1:1. #managingup #careergrowth #worktips
