In this episode, we confront the shocking reality that 67% of workers have experienced a toxic boss, and unpack why even good people engage in destructive behaviors when the system demands it. We explore how organizational structures create toxicity, share radical approaches like "no dickheads" policies that actually work, and offer powerful post-it note strategies to protect your energy and transform leadership dynamics. 

Check out our Substack where we unpack each post-it note in detail.
