Overview: Managers have to be ready to take up the reins of leadership that includes calculating risks, voicing concerns and guiding uncertain superiors. An unexplored yet critical side of leadership is upward leadership, or getting results by helping to guide the boss. Rather than undermining authority or seizing power from superiors, upward leadership means stepping in when senior managers need help and support in a way that benefits everyone. It also states that a common element among those who successfully lead up is a driving urge to make things happen on high, an unflinching willingness to take charge when not fully in command. The article explains the risk and reward in leadership and the principles of leading up.
