Short, apt and actionable
This book is a series of condensed articles from larger pieces.Like any collection it is a mixed bag. Several of the articles felt like they had lost the point/impact by being condensed.Overall a good reading
Like most HBR guide books this is but a curated set of articles that fit the heading, which makes it a veritable hodgepodge of some amazing actionable advice and some loose writings with barely any meaningful examples. Having said that one can definitely benefit from it particularly if one is in the starting stages of the career.This should be taken more like a reference book that one needs to refer whenever in doubt, since this book can only make one aware of things, and it is unto him/her to d...
A helpful read that I will likely return to reread at a later date. This is a helpful book for beginning supervisors as well as line staff while adapting to changing corporate culture.

A quick read. As with other HBG guides, it is a collection of HBR articles and books. Most of the articles have been cut short with the hope, I am assuming, to make it more interesting. So, if depth is what you are looking for, you may stay away from this. However, if you have reached a dead end with some of your relationships or situations upwards and across, this could throw up some fresh ideas
A collection of summarized articles that start along the theme of managing up, transition to managing across (via influence to those not in your reporting structure) and ends with articles on the general topics of collaboration.This is an excellent curation with very little redundancy that can serve as a great starting point towards further reading or exploration on anumbet of topics.Of particular interest to me were two articles, one on managing remote employees/being managed remotely and anoth...
Read for a workshop I'm participating in
A useful management book that I will reread in a recent day. I think it's more suitable for line staff to adapt to changing corporate culture. Although some points are predictable, you can earn lots of practical experience in this book.
Recommended by my skip-level given my interest in remote work. With that lens, this was a good fit; short and to the point, with micro-articles and briefs that let it cover a number of topics at an appropriate amount of depth. Mostly really helpful on topics of managing up and across, remote work, etc, though some sections felt super dated and unaware of the types of working environments I’ve experienced.I always wonder what level these books are aimed at. It seems like mine, but if I were a mid...
An assortment of articles of moderate quality, serving as a one-time read.Key points:1. Managing your boss by linda hill• Boss plays a conflicting role of an evaluator and supporter• Your boss expects you to collaborate, lead initiatives, develop your own people, stay current, drive your own growth and demonstrate positive behavior even during hard times• Take stock of your relationship – are you meeting expectations – results (are you meeting targets), information (do you keep your boss informe...
The book is a very fragmented, a shortened version of papers. I have to say the book seems very like a how to be a perfect flattering person in your career. If you really believe you want to spend the rest of your life in a hierarchical organization. You just want to get promotion and earn money, this book can be your hidden gem but comes at the cost of literally giving up yourself to satisfy your boss(es) and colleague; this is far away from having an ego.But if you are working in a flatten str...
This might be a useful book if you've never, ever read another book or article about how to function in the workplace... maybe. That's probably too harsh as I could see getting some use out of this as short articles to be read with your morning coffee but it's not something anyone should purchase if you're really struggling with issues of managing up or across.
This is a shorter and more condensed series than the 20 must reads. It includes articles from other books too. This is not bad if you enjoy the more concise articles which sometimes give just enough to get you thinking. Most content can be predictable.
I came across my blind spots in terms of work management. There are many problems along with scenarios presented in this book that you might encounter in your daily work with concrete ways of resolution, self-improvement, and call-to-actions. I wish that I would have read this book before.
Priceless collection of ideas to make life (and work) better !
This is more a collection of summaries of other longer articles. So I found it not very instructive. The article on emotional intelligence was the most interesting one, for me.
Collection of HBR articles rather than a book that shares a best practices/managerial wisdom on how to manage up and across. The book lacks structure and seems very fragmented.
Not good.
Surface level introduction to managing up and across, lots of good stuff in it, but I'll be wanting to dig deeper into some of the HBR articles themselves.
