There are very few leaders who don't have a boss and, as any leader knows, sometimes it's necessary to lead the boss as well as subordinates. But how? As the book's title suggests, such leadership is a subtle art.

John Baldoni presents a laundry list of techniques for the leader who wants to lead up. After all, helping the boss succeed is really a basic part of leadership responsibility. You want your subordinates to help you succeed and you should strive to help your boss succeed. In Lead Your Boss: The Subtle Art of Managing Up, he breaks the subject into three areas, each building on the next.

It's important to know what the leader needs. Remember, the goal is to help him or her succeed and knowing what they need is essential. Like the boss, a subordinate leader needs to be able to think strategically, while also being creative. Of course diplomacy usually leads to success. Probably one of the harder parts of leading up is knowing when and how to push back. Good leaders appreciate honest feedback from subordinates and good subordinate leaders know how to provide it.

Being a leader means being in a team. To be effective, the leader must know what the team needs. Of course teams are complex things and so Baldoni's next step, knowing what the team needs is also complex. Here he suggests a number of techniques that will help the leader understand the team's and most importantly the team's members', needs. Armed with that knowledge, the leader can then more effectively lead, both up and down.

With knowledge of what the leader needs, and what the team needs, the leader in the middle can now ask the pivotal question; what can I do my help the leader and the team succeed. Here Baldoni spends some time on two skills that are essential to leading, whether it's up, down, or sideways. First is resilience. A leader won't always win, especially not the first time, making this a critical skill for the leader's own sanity. The other is to treat other people well. People are what leadership is all about and the leader who treats people well is much more likely to succeed. Of course, being able to deal with the word "no" is important as well.

In Lead Your Boss, Baldoni gives us a handbook of leadership skills that apply to all levels of leadership. A word of caution though. If you're looking for a book that spells out in simple steps how to get your boss to do what you want him or her to do, this isn't it. The title states this is a subtle art, and indeed it is. It's also a subtle theme in this book and in reading one learns that perhaps the best way to lead the boss is to first master the art of leadership itself.

How to Manage your Boss for Career Success

With all of the attention today on learning how to manage your career, it's surprising that one of the most critical skills you need to get ahead doesn't get much attention. That skill is the fine art of managing your boss.

Over the course of your career, you'll have some great bosses and some who aren't so good. Some may be unsupportive, some may not give you the credit you deserve for your work, and some may even take out their own frustrations on you.

While few situations are as discouraging as having an incompetent boss or one who regularly finds fault with you, the good news is that most bosses really want to do their best. Often the right skills can help you manage your boss and turn a marginal relationship into a more productive one.

TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR MANAGING YOUR BOSS

If you want to influence the outcome of your relationship with your boss, you have to take responsibility. If you wait around for your boss to make the first move, you may miss out on important opportunities.

Here are some action steps you can take RIGHT NOW to build a more productive and rewarding relationship with your boss:

1. KNOW YOUR BOSS'S PRIORITIES - Your boss's opinion of you is critical. Linking your activities to what matters most to him or her makes you a more valuable team member. It also helps you make better decisions about how to spend your time.

This doesn't mean that you need to agree with everything your boss says. When properly handled, disagreements can build your credibility and gain you greater support. Just make sure that both you and your boss are aiming for the same goals.

2. ASK WIIFH? - Before you present ideas to your boss, ask, "What's in it for him?" Think about how your objectives further your boss's goals and priorities. If you can demonstrate how your ideas will benefit your boss, you're far more likely to get the support you want.

3. UNDER-PROMISE & OVER-DELIVER - It's natural to want to impress your boss by making big promises. However, no matter how much you actually accomplish, if you don't live up to the expectations you set, you can't help but damage your reputation. When you exceed expectations, you build credibility in the eyes of the people who count.

4. DON'T FOCUS ONLY ON PROBLEMS - Yes, your boss is busy. But just because you're lucky to get a few moments, doesn't mean you should focus only on difficulties. Make sure you regularly discuss positive performance and future plans.

5. OFFER SOLUTIONS - Never take a problem to your boss without offering 2 or 3 possible solutions at the same time. This gives you an opportunity to showcase your problem-solving ability. And if you simply want your boss's input on a problem, be sure to make that clear. Otherwise you boss may feel that you are trying to transfer your problem to her.

6. ASK FOR FEEDBACK - One of the hallmarks of top performers is their habit of seeking out criticism to help them improve their performance. While compliments are always nice to receive, if you want to advance rapidly in your career, constructive criticism from your boss is often more useful. If your boss doesn't coach regularly, be sure to ask about ways that you can improve your performance.

Practically everything you achieve in your career, you will achieve through working with others. Your future success depends greatly on your ability to effectively manage relationships with your boss, your peers, your subordinates and your customers.

Today, relationship strategies rule the world. To become a rising star in your career you must learn and apply them. When you master these strategies for managing your boss you'll find it easier to get support for your objectives. You'll be able to earn more, get promoted faster, and ultimately achieve the career success you want.

can a boss take messages from an employee's phone number to try and get another employee in trouble?

Can a boss take part of a long series of text conversations from someones phone and try to use it against another member of staff by taking two messages out of context and making them into something they are not?

It may be dependant on whether the phone in question is a company mobile or the individual's personal mobile. If it belongs to the company then there may be a case for using it, however unethical, but if it is a personal mobile then the company have no grounds upon which to make a take action.

The thing that worries me is the use of the messages 'out of context' as this indicates that the action onn the part of the boss is deliberate and s/he is looking for an excuse to get rid of the employee. If that's the case then the employee has a clear case for unfair dismissal if it gets to that point, or at least has the right of appeal if they are reprimanded.
