What about your boss’ boss?

Having found out about your boss’ role and accountabilities, what about their boss?

The idea about scalability – or ‘Russian dolls’ (things fitting one inside another) – is important within organisations. While it is not possible for everything to be neat and tidy, it’s valuable to have a sense of connectedness.

Go and talk to your boss’ boss (remember to consider styles and differences – asking your boss about their boss can be a valuable exercise on its own).

Considering your boss’ boss is a part of the 25 per cent of your time that you will benefit from spending on managing upwards.
