About this listen

What makes a boss “bad”? Is it ego, insecurity, or just a lack of self-awareness? In this episode, we dive into Thomas Erikson’s Surrounded by Bad Bosses and explore the traits, tactics, and behaviors that create toxic workplaces — from micromanagement and mixed messages to emotional manipulation.

Whether you’re working under one or trying to make sure you never become one, this episode breaks down real-world lessons on communication, trust, and accountability. You’ll learn how to recognize red flags, set professional boundaries, and cultivate leadership that inspires rather than intimidates.
