Bosses Behaving Badly: Navigating Difficult Management Situations

C-Suite Coach recently hosted a webinar on "Bosses Behaving Badly," featuring insights from Stephanie LeBlanc-Godfrey (Global Head of Community Inclusion Programs for Women of Color at Google) and Robert Hilliard (C-Suite Network Coach). The discussion focused on strategies for dealing with difficult managers and creating a more positive work environment.

Key Takeaways:

• The Importance of Self-Awareness: Both employees and managers need to be self-aware, understanding their strengths, weaknesses, and how their behavior impacts others.

• Invest in Your Development: Actively seek out opportunities for professional growth, including training, certifications, and stretch assignments.

• Build a Strong Network: Cultivate relationships with mentors, sponsors, and peers who can offer support and guidance.

• Communicate Openly: Have honest conversations with your manager about your goals, concerns, and expectations.

• Document and Escalate: If necessary, document problematic behavior and escalate concerns to HR or higher management.

• Prioritize Your Well-Being: Focus on self-care and maintain a healthy work-life balance, especially in challenging situations.

• Know Your Why: Connect your personal values and goals to your work to stay motivated and focused.

• Consider Entrepreneurship: Explore entrepreneurship as an alternative career path if the corporate environment is not fulfilling.
