How can I change my attitude toward a manager at work with whom I have a weird relationship, as discussed in the episode How to Manage Up With Dave Stachowiak and the clip Managing Up Effectively? Kaitlyn suggested I do something differently, but I'm frustrated with how I acted—responsive and thankful but also annoyed. I'm just an intern, but it's not obvious; everyone else loves me, and I love them. This manager rarely gives me the space to explain and often asserts herself during presentations without letting me continue. It's very different from everyone else there. While it's useful in some ways, it's also frustrating. I'm proud that I recognize I need to adjust to her behavior. Will changing my attitude help her loosen her resistance too?
