Managing up is not as taboo of a concept anymore — rather, it is necessary to maintain camaraderie in the workplace. According to the Harvard Business Review, managing up is about using the traits of a good manager to help bring out the best in you as an employee.

• If you scold the bad, you also need to praise the good. Offer positive feedback when appropriate.
• Make sure your goal is results-oriented for the good of the company.
• Don’t present a problem without offering a solution.
