No, at least not like you do your team. After all, management is a position of authority.
However, you can easily find articles and suggestion on how to manage your boss. The concepts are right, even if the terminology is clunky.
Much like managing your team is about communication and relationships, the same is true with your boss. Learn how you add value, where your strengths and weaknesses are in relation to the boss, and how best to get results with your boss.
This isn’t some Jedi mind trick where you let the boss think he is in charge, but really you are controlling him in the background. It isn’t some insidious manipulation. It is simply being aware of your bosses needs and filling them in the best way possible.
