This is really good. I really found it useful.

Thank you so much for sharing.

Nice list Alison! I just clicked through to this post on Twitter, and was intrigued as I'd just retweeted a colleagues post on this subject - http://lcp.org.uk/blog/index.php/2010/09/managing-upwards-best-from-boss/

It's always an interesting area for me, and you cover a few areas we missed too!
