Many people don’t leave jobs they love but leave managers they can’t work for anymore. We examine how toxic leadership styles quietly drive burnout, erode confidence and push workers toward the exit even when they may love everything else about their position.

Guests:

  • Sheila Nielsen, career consultant, owner, Nielsen Career Consulting
  • Laura Hambley Lovett, workplace psychologist, author, I Wish I’d Quit Sooner: Practical Strategies for Navigating and Escaping a Toxic Boss.

Nielsen recommends trying to find someone within the company whom your boss respects and regularly works with. Essentially, a person at a similar level as your boss who may be open to hearing you out and helping navigate the situation.
