Managing up: Dynamic Following in an Organizational Setting (Careers‪)‬

Great organizations rely not only on dynamic leaders but also on "dynamic followers." Often the greatest challenge to effective leadership is in the direct line reporting relationship with a manager or supervisor.

The skill set required to do so may be very different from that necessary to effectively manage direct reports.
