In this week's episode of Career Espresso, I'm talking about influencing the performance of people who don't report to you, otherwise known as managing sideways.

Think for a moment about the last time you needed to pull in a favour at work. Who was it that came to your rescue? I'd put money on it being one of your peers. The relationships we form at work help us to get stuff done when it counts most and managing sideways is about building a cooperative spirit that reaches across teams and departments.

I'll share 6 ways to manage sideways and do it well, and as always I'll finish up with a coaching question.

Accepting praise can make many of us feel really uncomfortable, often because even when we feel proud of what we've achieved, we don't want to appear egotistical. Rather than accepting the hard won praise with polite grace, we'll often sheepishly reject the compliment or even deny it entirely, changing the conversation as quickly as we possibly can.

In this week's episode of Career Espresso, I'll be covering why it can be so hard to accept praise, even when you know you've delivered something brilliant and how you can get better at owning your achievements.
