Description

Welcome to Sorta Bossy!

If you found yourself in a leadership role without a roadmap, you're in the right place. Sorta Bossy is the podcast for managers, team leads, directors, and business owners who are figuring out leadership in real time, without the toxic boss energy.

Host and operational efficiency expert (and co-founder of Run Like Clockwork, alongside Clockwork author Mike Michalowicz) pulls back the curtain on the people side of leadership — the part no one trains you for.

Here's the reality:

• Only 15% of leaders receive any formal leadership training
• 85% are winging it
• 69% of employees say their manager has a bigger impact on their mental health than their doctor, therapist, or partner

This show exists to close that gap.

What to expect:

• 🎙️ Solo episodes: tactical breakdowns on delegation, firing, accountability, feedback, and more
• 🤝 Leader interviews: real talk about real mistakes and hard-won lessons
• 💌 Dear Abby-style episodes: with co-host Emily, answering listener questions and reacting to real workplace dilemmas

This podcast is for you if you're a leader who wants to drive real results without creating a toxic culture in the process.

Subscribe, leave a review, and share with a fellow manager who needs this.
