This article unfortunately resonates on a personal level. This is why I believe I enjoy consulting so much.

I'm curious if anyone has any stories of how they overcame a Manager that was not their Champion? I have been thinking about this a lot. In my short time at large corporations it seems you really need someone on your side to move up the ladder a bit.
