The Art of Managing Upwards is part testimony, part toolkit—a devotional guide for believers who know they’re called to more than meetings and metrics. With raw honesty and biblical wisdom, Madeline shares how a surrendered heart can unlock purpose, influence, and peace in even the most high-pressure environments.
Drawing from over 20 years of leadership across public and private sectors, she invites readers into the sacred tension of working in excellence while living in obedience. This book equips you to navigate difficult teams, build your reputation with integrity, and serve with the posture of Christ—whether you’re in the boardroom or behind the scenes.
Each chapter closes with The Art of Managing Upwards in Action—practical, Spirit-led steps to help you put revelation into motion. Because the true art of managing upwards isn’t just something you learn. It’s something you live.
