About this episode
🎖️ Giving your boss feedback can feel like walking a tightrope. In this episode of Command 2 Corporate, we break down how to manage up—not by kissing up, but by communicating with honesty, courage, and strategy.
As veterans turned corporate leaders, we’ve seen firsthand how feedback up the chain can either transform a culture or become a career landmine. We talk about what works, what to avoid, and how emotional intelligence and trust play critical roles in managing up.
🎯 Key Takeaways:
🔹 What is “managing up” really about?
🔹 Why feedback to leaders often fails
🔹 How to give upward feedback that lands
🔹 Building a culture where managing up is welcome
