After our episode on dealing with poor performers, Work It listeners wrote in to ask us to discuss managers who were not doing their jobs well.
From micromanagers to non-managers, how do you deal with people responsible for your renumeration and growth? Leadership coach and founder of Designing Trust Audrey Low is our guest.
It's really important to take a responsible mindset rather than a victim mindset. Because if we (just say) I have a bad boss, this person is like this, like that, we would just be drinking poison.
