This presentation takes a no BS, enlightening, and humorous approach to working in business. It includes vital and practical tips gleaned from working with various managers and teams – good ones and otherwise – over 2 decades. These tips may seem obvious when you hear them, but it’s amazing how infrequently people practice rational behavior for the good of their organization – be it a dyad, team, or organization. For example: Manage up, knowledge down. Keep your management informed and updated so she/he/they know you’ve got your responsibilities under control; subsequently you’ll be recognized as competent, so manager doesn’t have to waste time babysitting.
