    Could the way you're advocating for your team actually be working against you?

    Spoiler: yes, the answer is yes.

    Key Topics Covered:

    [0:00] The hidden challenges of managing up.[3:14] How to frame risks and trade-offs for senior leaders.[5:12] Real-world strategies for turning tough situations into team wins.
