Let’s go after this paradox - how and why should we manage our bosses? Channeling some Office Space vibes in their dress for success segment (Admit it - you love this movie as much as we do!). Drs. Amber and Richa make fun of the stereotype of a manager who just pushes and pushes and asks for unreasonable favors while leisurely sippin’ on his coffee. Truth is in today’s work environment everyone is stretched thin with what is being called the “great promotion” which accompanies the “great resignation.” The hosts delve into this topic with their guest Jennifer Chapman to examine the different personality types of bosses (hands off vs. micromanager), how to create intense 15 minute planning meetings, work conflicts, getting promoted, and how to avoid falling into a victim mindset.
