Here's how you can effectively manage up with your boss in process design.

I don’t like the term BOSS! In a team environment you should be empowered to exceed your performance plan, and your boss becomes a leader of a team that doesn’t need a boss, because everyone is empowered!

In my experience, mastering the art of managing up with my boss is crucial for success in process design. By understanding my supervisor's priorities, communication style, and expectations, I can effectively align my efforts and contribute meaningfully to the organization's goals. Whether it's streamlining workflows, optimizing procedures, or implementing innovative solutions, building a strong rapport with my boss facilitates smoother collaboration and ensures my initiatives resonate with the broader vision. Its important to leverage these insights to navigate the complexities of process design with finesse and drive impactful outcomes together.

Develop a one to one set of meetings to keep them posted and mention that their help maybe necessary further into the process so build a personal relationship with the key boss. I don’t mean brown noising, sorry no other words to describe.

In my experience, effectively managing up is very much about approach and the expressed willingness to take on what is needed to implement your approach. It can also mean adapting your goals to include something of Direct Relation to one or two ?? of your Boss’s personal or corporate goals.

This item is a Must! If your goals differ from your company’s strategic goals, you should start job hunting…Seriously. When these goals do align, then make your personal goals include or contribute to the company’s strategic goals and you will STAY fulfilled and engaged. Your “work” will fill up your “Cup” instead of taking away from it. ??

The “boss” or leadership is not the focus of improvement. Some items of it might be unique to cater to the specific leadership at the moment. However, a process MUST withstand changes in leadership while consistently aligning to the strategy.

Recognize that relationships manifest in many different ways and forms and formats ?? so categorize your relationships CAREFULLY and recognize their benefits AND limitations. Work to build positive characteristics within your relationships and grow them as stagnant relationships are usually poor relationships. Build your relationships as you would any other asset in places and with people that you can learn from and who will advocate for you. And Always remember that relationships have TWO sides…Be certain you are not just taking in your relationships, but Giving into them as well.
