内容简介
Everyone has a boss. And anyone who has aspired to move up the corporate ladder knows that their relationship with those they report to is crucial. In Managing Up Rosanne Badowski offers a straightforward, entertaining, no-holds-barred account of what it takes to make your relationship with your boss work to your advantage, no matter where you stand in the corporate hierarchy.
Told through rich, colorful anecdotes about her years spent working with one of the smartest, most demanding and dynamic business leaders of the twentieth century, legendary GE CEO Jack Welch, Badowski reveals the secrets to career success she has gleaned over the years. At heart, it's about working with the person above you to create a productive and effective partnership.
Everyone is a manager, in one way or another, Badowski points out. She discusses first-hand what it's like to have to be a mind reader, to anticipate the future, to plan for the unexpected, and to perform the impossible. With refreshing candor and a hint of attitude, Badowski's advice is unlike any other. She advises us that "Impatience is a virtue," to "Have no shame," and to "Beware the too-quiet office." Having worked in one of the most challenging, high-profile corporate environments anywhere, no one knows more about prioritizing, about making decisions on behalf of your boss, about sifting through a daily barrage of data and information, about multitasking at warp speed, and exhibiting grace under fire. Ultimately, Badowski says, excelling at what you do is about a shared passion for the job.
Managing Up is an invaluable guide for managing your career and juggling responsibilities with finesse and confidence. It should become a management bible for anyone hoping to get ahead in their profession. 作者简介

“I always wondered how Jack did it… and now I know one big reason. Rosanne Badowski. Managing history’s greatest manager – that’s what Managing Up is all about, and it’s riveting. Stand back, Peter Drucker. If you’re the boss (or think you are)… read it. If you work for the boss, read it twice. You can’t afford not to.”
- Gerry Roche, senior chairman of Heidrick & Struggles
“Rosanne has seen it all… Her book is an inside view of the pressures and life in the executive office.”

好的,这是一本关于如何与上级有效沟通和建立合作关系的图书的详细简介,内容完全不涉及您提供的书名或主题: --- 《高效团队协作的艺术:构建跨层级信任与影响力的实战指南》 内容简介 在当今快速变化、高度依赖协作的商业环境中,个人的成功往往不再仅仅取决于自身的专业技能,而更多地取决于其在组织内部构建有效人际网络和影响力的能力。本书《高效团队协作的艺术:构建跨层级信任与影响力的实战指南》旨在为中层管理者、项目负责人以及有志于在组织中发挥更大作用的专业人士,提供一套系统化、可操作的策略,用以优化与不同层级同事及关键利益相关者的互动关系。 本书的理念核心是:协作的质量决定了成果的上限。 我们将深入探讨如何超越简单的任务执行,转变为一个能够主动塑造工作环境、推动积极变革的战略伙伴。我们相信,无论是向上争取资源、跨部门协调,还是向下激励团队,其基础都源于深刻理解组织动力学和建立基于相互尊重的信任关系。 第一部分:理解组织动力学与自我定位 本部分将引导读者从宏观角度审视自己所处的组织生态系统。成功的协作并非盲目行动,而是基于对组织结构、非正式权力网络和文化规范的清晰认知。 1. 绘制你的影响力地图: 我们将详细介绍如何识别组织中的关键决策者、信息枢纽和潜在的阻力源。这不仅仅是识别职位,更是理解“谁真正拥有解决问题的权力”以及“谁的声音最受重视”。读者将学习如何利用结构化思维工具,绘制出清晰的组织关系图谱,从而有针对性地进行沟通和资源争取。 2. 明确你的价值主张(Value Proposition): 在任何协作关系中,你必须清晰地阐述你能为对方带来什么。本章探讨如何将个人的专业能力转化为对组织或协作伙伴具有高可见度和高影响力的成果。我们将提供框架来帮助你提炼你的核心优势,并将其与组织当前最迫切的需求精准对齐。 3. 适应性沟通的基石: 组织内部充斥着不同的沟通风格——数据驱动型、愿景导向型、关系敏感型等。本书强调,有效的协作要求个体具备高度的沟通敏捷性。我们将分析不同风格的特点、识别它们出现的信号,并提供一套“风格切换”的技巧,确保你的信息在被接收者那里时,能够以最易于理解和接受的方式呈现。 第二部分:构建跨层级的信任与影响力桥梁 信任是高效协作的无形货币。本部分将聚焦于如何在复杂的组织层级中,系统性地建立和维护信任,并在此基础上施加积极的影响力。 4. 信任的建立:从可靠性到真诚性: 信任的建立是一个渐进的过程,本书将其分解为两个核心阶段:可靠性(Competence Trust)和真诚性(Integrity Trust)。我们将探讨如何通过持续交付高质量的工作来建立可靠性,并通过透明、一致的行为来展现真诚性。内容将包括如何处理“小错误”而不损害长期信任,以及在压力下保持专业一致性的方法。 5. 影响力而非权力:说服的科学: 当直接的指挥权缺失时,影响力就成为驱动变革的关键。本章将借鉴社会心理学原理,讲解如何运用互惠原则、稀缺性原则和社会认同原则来构建有力的说服案例。我们将深入分析“自下而上”推动创新的实际案例,指导读者如何巧妙地引导决策者看到变革的必要性。 6. 跨部门协作的“共同事业”战略: 部门壁垒往往是协作的死敌。本书提出“共同事业”战略,即超越部门KPI,找到组织层面上更宏大、双方都受益的目标。我们将提供实用的工作坊设计和利益协调技巧,帮助团队成员从“我的目标”转向“我们的成功”。 第三部分:应对协作中的挑战与冲突管理 高绩效的协作关系必然会遇到摩擦和冲突。本部分侧重于将冲突视为优化关系的契机,而非障碍。 7. 建设性地处理意见分歧: 冲突的根源往往是目标不一致或信息不对称。我们提供了一套三步冲突解决模型——“倾听以理解、聚焦于问题、共创解决方案”。重点在于如何将情绪化的辩论转化为基于事实和共同利益的探讨。 8. 管理期望与设置界限: 模糊的期望是导致协作失败的头号原因。本书指导读者如何主动管理他人的期望,尤其是在项目范围、交付时间或资源分配方面。内容涵盖了如何礼貌而坚定地拒绝不合理的请求,同时保持关系的和谐,确保资源的合理利用。 9. 维护长期合作关系的“维护期”: 协作关系需要持续的“维护”。我们将介绍定期的“关系健康检查”机制,类似于定期的系统维护。这包括如何进行有效的非正式反馈交流、如何庆祝阶段性成功,以及如何规划下一阶段的合作蓝图,确保合作的势头得以延续。 结语:成为组织生态系统的积极塑造者 《高效团队协作的艺术》不是一本速成手册,而是一份关于长期职业成熟度的路线图。通过掌握本书提供的洞察力、工具和实战技巧,读者将能够更自信、更具战略性地驾驭组织中的人际网络,将自己从一个被动的执行者,转变为一个能够有效整合资源、驱动跨层级合作的、不可或缺的战略推动者。成功的协作,源于对人的理解和对流程的精通,这本书将是您实现这一目标的可靠伙伴。
