Working with your boss (LFUYR -M1 S2L1)

Establishing productive relationships with their managers 

One of the challenges managers cite is the need for supervisors to work more independently while still keeping their managers in the loop.  Often first-time supervisors expect too much direction from their own managers. In reality, senior leaders want supervisors who report to them to start exercising their own judgment. At the same time, they want to work out a form of communication that keeps both of them informed so there will be no surprises.
