Shameless Leadership950: Dr. Karen Hills Pruden: What Bad Bosses Teach Us About Great LeadershipHaving a boss who causes harm or holds leadership values that clash with yours is rarely a positive experience.

When I learned of Dr. Karen Hills Pruden’s work in leadership, partly inspired by her experience of having endured two incompetent leaders in close succession, I was eage...2025-07-2949 min

Sometimes society tells us that if we are not committing our life’s work to something we are passionate about, we are wasting our time or our talent.
