Another great #SAChat, this week on How to supervise up. Thank you to Tom Krieglstein for MODing this chat.
MOD: Q1 – How do you define “Managing Up?” #sachat
A1: helping your boss help you. With deadlines, expectations, whatever you both need to succeed together. #sachat

I feel like "managing up" is one of those terms we toss around, but we don't have the same definition of what it *actually* means #SAChat

MOD Q2 – Where do you (did you) go to learn how to be a better manager? #sachat
A2: summer camp is the main thing that shaped me as a leader/manager. That and engagement with @CCOMinistry staff. #sachat

A2: I've learned my mgmt. skills from the good & bad supervisors I've had in the past (SA or other). I learn most from experience #SAChat

MOD Q3 – What are two traits of “Managing Up” that you’ve seen to work really well? #sachat
A3 – Accountability that both parties are following through. #sachat
— Tom Krieglstein (@tomkrieglstein) February 23, 2017
A3) Communicating with supervisor about what works best for you. Not sure what else I've seen work. I have seen a lot ignored. #SAchat

MOD Q4 – what have you seen to be the biggest challenges with “manage up” that create friction? #sachat
#SAChat A4 – The lack of people working together: there's no communication, no accountability, no support for anyone, etc.

A4. I've also seen people make lots of decisions without keeping supervisor looped in, which can also spell out trouble. #SAChat

MOD Q5 – What’s one thing around “Managing Up” you wish you knew as an #SAGrad before entering your first job? #sachat
#SAChat A5: Knowing how to balance student/worker responsibilities was tricky, but it prepped me well for two PT jobs!

Q5 you might be stuck in the #sagrad mode still at your first job #SAChat

MOD FT/FQ – As we come to the end for this topic, what’s your Final Thought (FT) or Final Question (FQ)? #sachat
@The_SA_Blog FT Management is a process and grows experientially and organically with accountability thrown in. #SAChat

FT When you presume to know it all about "management," you prove to others you do not.#SAChat
