In this engaging episode of Biz-Souls, hosts Rona Lewis and Jeffrey Hansler delve into the pervasive issue of 'Bad Bosses' in the workplace.

Truth be told, Rona carries this podcast forward since Jeffrey was completely distracted by a call which came in on his phone – or did Jeffrey switch things up to model active listening as an encouragement for Rona to share her treasure trove of wealth on this subject. Despite Jeffrey’s distraction (or projection), Rona leads a compelling discussion on why organizations often tolerate detrimental managerial behavior.

In this episode, they discuss the following possibilities bad bosses survive and even thrive:

Why do organizations tolerate bad bosses? Fear of change? Fear of retaliation? ROI focus? Lack of accountability? Or just ignorance? (Hey, it works for actors with bad behaviors so why not bad bosses. Just saying.)

And what is the Impact of Bad Bosses? Decreased employee engagement? High turnover rates? Negative workplace culture? Or high productivity?

Tune in for a host of perspectives as our favorite hosts, Rona and Jeffrey, explore these topics with valuable perspectives and improved leadership within your organization.
