About this episode

Have you ever had a boss that you found really difficult to work with? In this episode we explore why dysfunctional bosses are so common and how to cope with one.  We shed some light on the typical behaviours of dysfunctional managers are and discuss practical strategies for using emotional intelligence to get our relationship with a hard-to-work-with manager onto a better footing. So if you’re struggling with this issue right now, or know someone else who is, I hope you’ll get something useful from this conversation that can help improve things for you or your colleague.

Joining me to discuss this stressful aspect of workplace dynamics is Eric Charran, technology executive at Intuit and author with over 25 years of experience transforming global enterprises. Eric's book, Have You Ever Had a Boss That..., offers invaluable insights on navigating difficult workplace relationships. Drawing on his leadership roles at Microsoft and Capital One, Eric is going to share his advice on how to foster resilience and effectiveness when dealing with difficult managers.
