Horrible Bosses: How to Avoid Hiring, Creating, and Nurturing Them
We’ve all heard the statistic that 75% of employees have left a job because of their manager. Horrible bosses abound, but where did they come from? In this session, we’ll explore how this phenomenon happens, ways to avoid repeating the mistakes that create a thriving environment for horrible bosses, and introduce strategies to help you nurture good bosses.
This presentation will take you on the journey, reveal the tools and processes used to evaluate and address challenges and chart a new course (complete with ongoing course corrections). You will leave this session with practical techniques you can use in your organization tomorrow.
