Ep #184: How to Deal with a Less-Obvious Toxic Boss
When we talk about toxic bosses, we often imagine someone who is aggressive, dismissive, childish, or openly rude.
Basically: a bully.
But that’s not the kind of toxic boss I’m going to talk about today.
The toxic boss I’m talking about is way more insidious and absolutely deadly when it comes to your career.
They’re likely sliding under your radar because they’re not overt assholes and they probably aren’t being awful to you.
They may even be masking their toxic behavior by being overly nice to you.
These less-obvious toxic bosses are so dangerous because they’re manipulative and codependent – and they may be blocking you from reaching your next level of leadership and you don’t even realize it.
So in this episode of Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer, I’ll show you the corporate badass way of recognizing and dealing with these terrible bosses so you can get unstuck in your career.
Let’s get started.
