Public sector consulting for 5 years, switching firms and hungry for a promotion (after maternity leave) and learning about manager duties etc. What are the most important skills of managers? Am at a boutique now that lacks structure and mobility.
Having the opportunity to have a coffee chat with a senior partner before I start and wonder if they could shed some light to the promotion track and help. Of course I've not done anything to deserve sponsorship yet. Also don't wanna kiss up to some1!

Kissing up to someone is one of the most important skills of managers

But not necessarily during that coffee chat

is anyone familiar with pay differentials, negotiating for a temporary raise or some other form of compensation for extra work? 3 coworkers on my team have recently resigned, and certain shifts are being expected to work at half staff until new hires can be brought on. if my workload is being doubled, i expect to be compensated, as they are paying one employee to do the work of two. any suggestions or wording on how to address this?
