How to Manage Your Manager Without Making It Obvious

from The Office Politics Podcast with Fexingo: Workplace Dynamics, Influence, and Getting Things Done · host Fexingo

Episode 19 of The Office Politics Podcast. Lucas and Luna explore the subtle art of managing upward — influencing your boss's decisions, priorities, and perception of your work without triggering their authority reflex. Using a real case from a Fortune 500 engineering team, they break down the three moves that actually work: information shaping, decision pre-wiring, and credit framing. They also unpack why most 'manage up' advice backfires because it treats the boss as a problem to be solved rather than a person with constraints. Specific, actionable, and grounded in behavioral psychology. No corporate buzzwords. No manipulative tactics. Just the quiet mechanics of getting your good ideas adopted by the person who signs your review. #ManagingUp #WorkplaceDynamics #Careers #OfficePolitics #Influence #BossRelationships #CareerStrategy #Leadership #BehavioralPsychology #Fortune500 #EngineeringCulture #DecisionMaking #WorkplacePsychology #ProfessionalDevelopment #SoftSkills #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #OfficePoliticsPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
