In the world of leadership, the art of managing up can be a complex and challenging task. It involves effectively working with superiors, understanding their expectations, and aligning goals to ensure success for both the leader and the organization.

Do you ever start projects or tasks with motivation but lose engagement and interest to finish? What about working toward a goal and for whatever reason, you get off track and never complete the goal? Or you think through a plan, write it out, start executing it and quit without knowing that you did. From my perspective, these are clear examples of self-sabotage.
