让上级的长处富有成效不是靠溜须拍马，而是从正确的事情出发，并以上级易于接受的方式向其提出。
有效管理者明白上级也是人（聪明的年轻下级常要付出很高代价才会明白）。
上级既然是人，就会既有长处，又有局限。
发挥上级的长处，也就是让上级去做他擅长的事，这会让上级有效——也让下级有效。寄望于上级的短处，就如同寄望于下级的短处，一样会受到挫败，收效惨淡。
因此，有效管理者会思考：“我的上级真正擅长做的是什么？”“他过去做得特别好的是什么？”“他要了解哪些东西才能发挥自己的长处？”“他要从我这里得到什么才能做好工作？”至于上级不擅长做的事情，他不会太关心。
下级通常想要“改造”上级。例如，年长而又能干的事务官常把自己当成新任政务官的导师，试图让上级克服他们的短处。有效的下级不会那样做，他们会思考：“新来的上级能做好什么事？”如果答案是：“他擅长处理与国会、白宫和公众的关系”，那么事务官就会创造条件让新任部长去发挥这些长处。事务官关于行政和政策的想法再好，如果提出建议的方式不得当，那也是徒劳。相反，如果方式得当，新任部长知道这位事务官是在为自己提供支持，很快就会乐于倾听事务官的政策和行政建议。
One does not make the strengths of the boss productive by toadying to him. One does it by starting out with what is right and presenting it in a form which is accessible to the superior.
The effective executive accepts that the boss is human (something that intelligent young subordinates often find hard).Because the superior is human, he has his strengths; but he also has limitations. To build on his strengths, that is, to enable him to do what he can do, will make him effective—and will make the subordinate effective. To try to build on his weaknesses will be as frustrating and as stultifying as to try to build on the weaknesses of a subordinate. The effective executive, therefore, asks:“What can my boss do really well?” “What has he done really well?”“What does he need to know to use his strength?” “What does he need to get from me to perform?” He does not worry too much over what the boss cannot do.
Subordinates typically want to “reform” the boss. The able senior civil servant is inclined to see himself as the tutor to the newly appointed political head of his agency. He tries to get his boss to overcome his limitations. The effective ones ask instead: “What can the new boss do?” And if the answer is: “He is good at relationships with Congress, the White House, and the public,” then the civil servant works at making it possible for his minister to use these abilities. For the best administration and the best policy decisions are futile unless there is also political skill in representing them. Once the politician knows that the civil servant supports him, he will soon enough listen to him on policy and on administration.
