    Speaker:  

    Dr. Mechelle Roberthon

    • Topic: Managing Up and Down

    • Description: In today’s workplace, effective leadership requires more than directing others — it also means influencing those above you. Managing up and managing down are essential relationship skills that drive clarity, trust, and productivity at every level. Managing up focuses on aligning with your leader’s priorities, communication style, and expectations. Managing down centers on supporting, guiding, and developing those who rely on your direction. When used together, these skills help create stronger teams, reduce friction, and improve decision-making. Dr. Mechelle Roberthon will explore practical strategies to strengthen both, empowering HR professionals and leaders to navigate workplace dynamics with confidence.
