Managing Up (A): Grace Description

Organizational Development Case Study | Authors :: Karen


MacMillan
Two employees at 8SK Consulting, a major firm with 800 staff in five divisions, need to find
a way to manage their leader effectively. A junior hire who is ready to take on more
responsibility in order to advance her career is frustrated - although her leader has previously
played an important role as her mentor and guide in the company, he now seems to be in the
way of her promotion to more important positions. A senior quality specialist wants to refuse
an offered team leader role, because of family concerns, but is worried how that may
disappoint her boss and how it might affect not only hers but his career. How can these
employees effectively and proactively manage a leader in order to reach personal and career
goals?
