Critique My Managing-Up Communication Strategy
You suspect your senior stakeholders do not really see what your team does, and you want an honest read on why. Describe how you currently communicate, your manager's style and your team's outputs. It checks your approach against managing-up best practice and flags where you go quiet, where you over-share, and what to change. For anyone whose good work keeps going unnoticed.
Review my current approach to managing upward and give me an honest critique. Here is how I currently communicate with my senior stakeholders: {CURRENT_APPROACH}. My manager's communication style and priorities are: {MANAGER_STYLE}. My role is {MY_ROLE} and my team's main outputs are {TEAM_OUTPUTS}. Evaluate my approach against best-practice managing-up principles and identify: (1) Where I may be losing visibility or trust with senior stakeholders; (2) Gaps in how I frame my team's work in terms of business impact; (3) Specific language or framing I should use more or less; (4) A recommended weekly or monthly communication rhythm; (5) Red flags that suggest I'm over-reporting or under-reporting. Be direct: I want actionable critique, not reassurance. ⚠ human-in-the-loop: you are responsible for the results of using this prompt, not us.
