In this episode, I react to a Twitter thread that Wes Kao wrote about managing up. Wes is the co-founder of Maven and someone I consider a mentor, even though I have never met her. This topic about managing up is a personal weakness of mine, which is why it caught my eye.

If it’s not a weakness, I do tend to avoid this topic, or otherwise get uncomfortable when I am faced with the decision to improve how I manage up. This is why I am choosing to face up to it. Rebel intrapreneurs manage up, and I need to learn how to do it better.

Thank goodness for Wes Kao’s solid advice.
