Many new managers struggle to work with senior management.

I feel the reason could be that they don’t understand what senior management needs or there is no defined communication channel between them.

This scenario is not new and has been around for decades.

New Managers should understand that you will succeed only if both, your team and senior management are confident about your management.

So there is a need to put effort to build trust with senior management in the same way as with your team members.

In this blog, I will provide few pointers to make the relationship with senior management better.

The situation

Many manager who were in individual contributor role move to management. When in individual contributor role the interactions with senior management will be different.

The discussion is more related to technical and approaches used. When the same person moves to management role, the expectation from senior management changes drastically.
