For one tried-and-true resolution to the problem of bad bosses, we are joined this week by the woman who literally wrote the book on the topic. Michelle Gibbings is a global keynote speaker, and bestselling author of Bad Boss: What To Do If You Work For One, Manage One, or Are One. She explains her 4-step process for taking a boss from bad to inspirational, and weighs in on the unique challenges facing leaders in a volatile business landscape.
Join us as we discuss:
- Why leaders must continually ask themselves of their mission and goals for their people
- The importance of 360-degree feedback to assess leadership performance
- How to improve work by the integration of new behaviors, rather than teaching toward the end goal those behaviors represent
- The 4-step leadership improvement process of assess, strategize, act, reflect
- Why it’s important to see “bad bosses” as complex people with a history of goals, rather than just as poor leaders
- How bosses and leaders must reconsider their public influence in the social media age
- Why coaching is a critical component of any serious performance improvement system
Previous guests include: Simon Brown of Novartis, Ravin Jesuthasan of Mercer, Michael Lee Stallard of Connection Culture Group, Michelle Weise of Rise and Design and Dr. Nigel Paine of Learning Now TV.
