Nach dem Link, den Jonathan da gefunden hat dann wohl eher \"führen von unten nach oben\", also in Richrtung \"manipulieren\":
Der zweite Manager war von seinen Mitarbeitern sehr schwierig zu \"führen\", jedoch ausgesprochen talentiert, wenn es darum ging, seine eigenen Vorgesetzten zu \"führen\".

Vielen Dank Jonathan, gib\'s doch einfach selbst nochmal ein, eigentlich stehen dir ja dann auch ggf. die Punkte zu!

agree  Jonathan MacKerron: sounds good, but is "managing up" a standard term?; just found this link, take a look http://www.instituteofmanagementstudies.com/managingup.html

  -> I don't think so - and didn't find it anywhere. But it makes sense this way.

jemandem zu unterstehen oder zuarbeiten


Explanation:
Es war sehr schwierig, dem zweiten Manager zu zuarbeiten jedoch war dieser selbst extrem talentiert, anderen zuzuarbeiten.
(Ich glaube es ist nicht moeglich, "managing up" direkt zu uebersetzen.)

I found the following at: management.monster.com/articles/managingup/ \"Managing up means focusing on the relationship with your boss to obtain the best results for you, your boss and your organization.\"
