Training Overview

This enterprise training programme equips employees and mid-level managers with practical communication frameworks to anticipate executive needs, present actionable solutions, and build proactive, high-trust working relationships with leadership.

Key Executive Learning Outcomes:

  • Eliminate Communication Bottlenecks: Standardise status updates and reporting structures to keep projects aligned with strategic enterprise goals.
  • Drive Proactive Team Accountability: Train employees to clarify priorities independently, reducing the need for hands-on management and micro-oversight.
  • Accelerate Career Mobility & Talent Retention: Develop high-potential individual contributors into strategic partners who understand C-suite priorities.

Questions about Managing Up Training

Straight answers on content, delivery and certification. Still deciding?

Talk to an adviser
What is managing up training?

Managing up means building an effective working relationship with your manager and senior leaders so that both sides get what they need to succeed. LIA's Managing Up Training covers presenting solutions rather than problems, managing expectations proactively, writing concise updates for senior decision-makers, giving feedback and pushing back diplomatically, and aligning your priorities with the organisation's strategy.

Why is managing up important at work?

Much friction between employees and leaders comes from mismatched expectations, unclear priorities and updates that miss what decision-makers need. People who manage up well keep projects aligned, raise problems early, need less supervision and earn more trust and responsibility. For organisations, it means faster decisions, fewer surprises and stronger working relationships between levels.

Can our own trainers deliver Managing Up Training?

Yes, through LIA's Train the Trainer accreditation. It includes the full programme content and methodology, the facilitator guide and materials, supervised practice with coaching, an assessment of facilitation competence and a licence to deliver the programme internally.

Is Managing Up Training CPD certified?

Yes. London Intercultural Academy (LIA) is a recognised CPD provider (CPD Provider Number 781813), and every participant receives a CPD certificate on completion.
