原文

Managing a career on the way up is quite different from managing one at the top of an organisation. Individuals on the way up have to build relationships with the people they report to.They usually have to deal with subordinates in addition to people at the same level as themselves. The most senior staff only have those under them to relate to. This book promote the idea that all working relationships, including the relationship with one's boss, can and should be managed.
管理一个正在上升的职业生涯与管理一个组织的高层是完全不同的。在上升的过程中，每个人都必须与他们的下属建立关系。除了与自己处于同一水平的人之外，他们通常还必须与下属打交道。最高级的员工只有他们下面的员工才有关系。这本书提倡所有的工作关系，包括与老板的关系，都可以并且应该得到管理。

You do not have to be smarter than your manager in order to manage the relationship. Nor do you have to be better than your manager in any respect.Your manager may well be your career adviser and guide: he or she may have taught you almost everything you know about your line of business - and may continue to teach you more. You may be planning to remain under his or her guidance in the future. None of these factors should alter your relationship with your manager or put you off 'managing upwards'. I use this phrase to refer to the management of one's boss because, for many people on the way up, it is the first relationship they have to get right.
你不必比你的经理更聪明来管理关系。在任何方面，你也不必比你的经理更优秀。你的经理很可能是你的职业顾问和指导者：他或她可能已经教会了你几乎所有你知道的关于你的行业的知识，并且可能会继续教你更多。你可能计划在他或她的指导下继续下去。这些因素都不应该改变你与经理的关系，也不应该让你“向上管理”。我用这个短语指的是老板的管理层，因为对于很多即将升职的人来说，这是他们第一次必须改正的关系。

You can, of course, get on at work just by react positively to your manager, but that is not likely to be the most successful way to run your working life. An active policy of managing upwards will make you more successful and, at the same time, make the business of going to work more enjoyable. It can also be a way to show appreciation to your manager for the efforts he or she has made on your behalf Finally, managing upwards will make it easier for your manager to manage you,leaving him or her more time for other role and tasks.
当然，你可以通过对你的经理做出积极的反应来继续工作，但这不太可能是你工作生活中最成功的方式。一个积极的向上管理的政策将使你更成功，同时，使接下来的工作更加轻松自如。这也可以是对你的经理为你所做的努力表示感谢的一种方式。最终，向上管理将使你的经理更容易管理你，让他或她有更多的时间从事其他的角色和任务。
