“Ask questions. Because introverts tend to introvert their thinking and decision making, they don't always do a great job of expressing their process or explaining themselves. Not getting enough information is one of the biggest challenges of working for an Innie Boss. It's not that introverts don't want to share, it's that it doesn't occur to them that you may need this information. So if you don't have the information or background that you need, you must take responsibility to ask questions. And when you ask questions, make them open‐ended questions – things like “what, how, why, tell me about” That will prompt them to give you more information.”

“Assess Your Willingness to Man Up Managing up is about deploying adaptive strategies, so in order to work, you must be willing to adapt. Remember, we can't change others, we can only change how we approach and interact with others. If you want your boss to adapt to you, you must be willing to adapt to her as well. Are you ready, willing, and able? Ask yourself the following questions: Do I like/love my job itself? Do I like/love my organization? Do I need this job (financially)? Do I need this job (for experience/career development)?”
