How do you lead when you're not in charge? In this episode of ThinkingCAAP, we go behind the scenes with two of our fearless team members: Georgia Del Freo, Chief Strategy Officer, and Erika Carpin, Director of Operations, to explore what it really means to manage up. We talk about: ✅ What “managing up” looks like in action ✅ Building trust across a virtual team ✅ Navigating different leadership styles ✅ Delegation (why it's so hard—and so necessary) ✅ The power of clear communication and mutual respect Plus, we dive into the very real challenges of capacity, the role of emotional intelligence in leadership, and how a good workplace culture isn’t just about ping-pong tables or step challenges (though… those help 😉). 💡 Whether you're a new manager, a CEO, or someone trying to make change from the middle, this episode is full of real talk, laughter, and lessons. 🎧 Watch or listen now - https://ow.ly/X2lG50WzJbu #Leadership #WorkplaceCulture #ManagingUp #CommunityAction #NonprofitLeadership #EmotionalIntelligence (fb)
