Manage In
Managing In is a mindset centered on SELF. It has a focus to improve your CAPABILITY to execute behaviors, tactics and actions associated with the development of your personal management skill set.

It requires understanding your type and interaction with others, embracing the behaviors to step into the role, continuing to improve based on incorporating feedback, enhancing your ability your process change, maintaining a vigilance to a healthy work life balance, and investing in ongoing learning.
Manage Out
Managing Out is a mindset centered on your ORGANIZATION. It has a focus to recognize you are part of a larger ECOSYSTEM and to define strategy, execute behaviors, tactics, and actions for working with groups and processes outside of your team. It includes giving visibility to your team’s work process inputs and outputs and nurturing your Organizational Network through building healthy peer, partner, and support group relationships. Managing Out provides a framework to navigate the political environment through an understanding of your sphere of control and influence, how to resolve conflict, and enable meaningful collaboration.
Manage UP
Managing Up is a mindset centered on your LEADERSHIP to establish healthy relationships and effective communication with your organizational leadership. It has a BUSINESS focus to understand and align your team to the organization’s customers, products, processes, and services. It includes behaviors, tactics and actions associated with understanding the Vision and Mission, providing solutions to business needs, effective utilization of company tools and process, participating in the budgeting process, actively engaging as a member of the leadership team, and implementing efficient and predictable communication methods.
Manage Forward
Managing Forward is a mindset centered on your TEAM. The focus is to improve the team’s PERFORMANCE through strategy, behaviors, tactics, and actions associated with building a positive and healthy work environment. It includes leading your team to plan and measure work, assess, recognize, and reward the team members, grow skills and capabilities, manage through change, overcome obstacles, and ultimately lead the team to successfully achieve its goals. It is by far the largest aspect of the dimensions of people management and most successful when done in conjunction with Manage In, Manage Out, and Manage Up.
