This PPT slide, part of the 30-slide How to Be a Great Manager PowerPoint presentation, titled "Managing Upward" outlines essential strategies for caseteam leaders to enhance collaboration with their VPs, ultimately aiming to improve team output. The first strategy emphasizes the importance of being open to ideas. This suggests a flexible mindset where leaders should not only present their viewpoints, but also actively listen to feedback. The accompanying VP comment reinforces this by advising leaders to share their insights while remaining receptive to coaching. It highlights the necessity of collaboration, indicating that defensiveness can hinder progress.

The second strategy, "Put yourself in your VP’s shoes," encourages leaders to empathize with their VPs' challenges. This perspective is crucial for fostering a supportive environment. The VP's comment expands on this by urging leaders to consider their VPs' issues as they would a client’s. This approach not only builds rapport, but also aligns the leader’s efforts with the broader objectives of the organization.

Overall, the slide serves as a practical guide for leaders aiming to strengthen their relationships with VPs. It underscores the dual importance of sharing insights and embracing feedback, as well as the value of empathy in leadership. By adopting these strategies, leaders can create a more collaborative atmosphere that ultimately drives better outcomes for their teams and the organization as a whole.
