Have you ever wondered why so many bosses fail to inspire their teams? In this episode, Sharran dives into the controversial topic that no one wants to discuss—why most bosses suck.

He argues that many leaders, who love their titles and control, often lack the necessary skills to be effective bosses, which can damage team dynamics and productivity. Sharran also explains what good leadership is all about and how you can become the kind of boss people actually want to work for.

If you’re a leader, he offers actionable insights to help you improve, and if you’re working under a boss who isn’t quite up to par, you'll find helpful advice on how to navigate that environment.

If you’re a boss or part of a team, listen to this episode and learn how to break away from the toxic “boss” mindset and become a true leader.

“Respect doesn't come from your position in the org chart; it comes from watching someone lead by example.”
