Managing Up, Down and Across Organizations
What
This Zoom Meetup addressed the sudden shift into remote working conditions that has caused millions of people to rethink not only how to manage their work, but also how to manage their workplace relationships. The truth is that in the virtual workplace—like the physical workplace—relationships matter. Our bosses, colleagues, and team members have enormous influence over our ability to succeed, thrive, and advance in our organizations, in our careers, and in our own leadership journey. This lively, interactive webinar provided proven strategies and techniques to enhance collaboration between those who have different power levels, perspectives, needs, wants, and personalities. Learning to effectively manage your relationships up, down, and across–is good for you, good for your boss, good for your peers, and good for your organization. Today’s meeting is presented by the IBTTA Mentorship Committee (a sub-committee of the
IBTTA Membership Committee) and supported by three IBTTA groups, Women in Tolling Council, Young Professionals Council and the Leadership Academy Alumni Association.
