Managing yourself first is a prerequisite for managing others. Imagine if your behavior is mood driven instead of values or habit driven. You generally are happy in the morning and become withdrawn in the afternoon or vice versa. How can you change your perspective of your paradigms (thinking beyond thinking), we will discuss in this session.

Becoming a new manager changes their role from contributor to a director and an encourager. Managers generally misconstrue position with authority and start delving in either being aggressive, passive or manipulative. All these traits are generally negatively perceived. The question arises where and when to use and not to use them and what could be the best alternative, we will discuss in this session.

It sounds skeptical “to manage your boss” due to our traditional management practices in the organisations. It also sounds unhealthy to think why to manage your boss. But numerous research studies suggest that effective managers take time and effort notably to manage their relationships with their subordinates and also with their bosses as well. In this session we will explore the difference between a leader, manager and a boss and what are the areas we could
look into developing our relationships with the boss.
