Managing Up and Laterally

Just as it is important to exercise effective, respectful management of those who report to you directly, it's equally crucial that you are able to engage effectively with people across from and above you on an org chart. This course will introduce you to strategies for skillfully managing candidates, colleagues, and other stakeholders over whom you don't have any formal authority. While it might feel awkward at first, mastering this practice is what will ultimately set you and your entire campaign team up for success. 

Course Objectives

• Identify best practices for managing your candidate’s time and energy during a campaign
