Presentation Description

In every job there is someone you report to. Especially at higher levels the boss's style and alignment and relationship matters alot. Here are few tips to make the relationship very robust. Nobody reports to me (lucky for them!), so I really don't know how most managers keep tabs on their usual six direct reports, not to mention the people cascading below them.

Many complain about their bosses "managing by meddling," or micro-managing. some adopt style of "trust but verify," which means a lot of emails, meetings and monthly reports . dashboards metrics. more data more analysis. Do you wish to be control freak?
