How to Get Promoted by Managing Up Without Being a Sycophant

Episode 11 of Promotion Path with Fexingo tackles a risky but potent career move: managing up. Lucas and Luna break down how to influence your boss's decisions, align your work with their priorities, and get recognized — without crossing into brown-nosing. They use a concrete case: a mid-level marketer at a CPG company who landed a director title by proactively solving her VP's biggest headache. Learn the difference between strategic upward management and sycophancy, including specific tactics like the 'agenda pre-write' and 'skip-level framing.' If you've ever felt invisible to your boss or worried that hard work alone won't get you promoted, this episode offers a playbook for making your contributions impossible to ignore. #PromotionPath #ManagingUp #CareerAdvice #GetPromoted #WorkplaceStrategy #BossRelationships #InfluenceWithoutAuthority #CareerGrowth #CorporateLadder #OfficePolitics #Leadership #ProfessionalDevelopment #JobPromotion #ManagerTips #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Careers #UpwardManagement Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
