How do you deal with people who are less experienced but more senior than you?

In this episode of Leadership: Your Questions Answered, Helen McCabe and Jamila Rizvi once again draw on their expertise and the latest research to answer members' career conundrums, from dealing with people who have less experience but are more senior than you, to building your journalistic profile.  This week's questions Anonymous asks: Do you have any tips on building presence and influence in a hierarchical organisation where your 'grade level' means you go through your manager, and how to deal with people who are not more experienced but on a higher grade than you? Sairah asks: Is there an etiquette involved, when asking esteemed colleagues or future colleagues to connect on LinkedIn? When is being eager to develop oneself professionally, coming across as needy?  Saswati asks: I currently freelance as a journalist and I am looking to engage in a more structured role. I am wondering how I can better navigate the writing/journalism space and whether upskilling in some field would be the best bet for me to gain meaningful employment? If yes, what kind of courses should I be looking at?
