Why is it sometimes difficult to manage sideways? Describe some ways that one can overcome these difficulties.
What will be an ideal response?
Managing sideways refers to the ability for peers and coworkers to lead and influence each other. It can be difficult to lead those over whom one has no direct authority. First, it is important to remember that peers often have common (subordinate) goals, and one can attempt to appeal to these (common goals). Some of the principles of managing up can also apply to managing sideways. It is important to assume that a peer has good motives or intentions, even if it seems that this person is irresponsible or detached. One should also try to understand peers’ individual needs, styles of working, etc. and try to appeal to and match these.
