About this listen

A must-have practical guide by a leading mind in the organizational psychology field for anyone suffering under a toxic boss to navigate, escape, recover, and take back control of their career.

Today’s workers are increasingly frustrated and disillusioned as toxic bosses are allowed to thrive across organizations and industries, from the boardroom to the Zoom room. I Wish I’d Quit Sooner is a fresh, informative, and practical guide for the millions of employees worldwide who endure unhealthy workplace dynamics. Narrated by the author, this insightful book helps listeners recognize the signs of toxic leadership—and gives them strategies to better manage their situation, exit, and recover.

Based on Dr. Laura’s 25 years of applied experience in the field of organizational psychology and informed by her latest North American research on this topic, this is an engaging, relatable, and evidence-based handbook that provides a new language around the behaviors and impacts of a toxic boss, including a breakdown of eight common personas: the Self-Serving Egomaniac, the Control Freak, the Dishonest Manipulator, the Great Divider, the Unethical Corrupter, the Abusive A-Hole, Disordered Personalities (Narcissist and Sociopath), and the Gaslighter.

With the help of I Wish I’d Quit Sooner, listeners will learn practical tools to identify and start important conversations, to advocate for themselves, and to regain control of their career and well-being.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
