Sometimes the hardest part of dealing with a bad news story for communicators is dealing with a boss whose opinions or behavior become the story.
In an episode inspired by the recent story of the CEO of a restaurant group wading in on the 2020 election results with disastrous results, Dr. Abby Medcalf offers a guide for people who need to navigate complicated situations with a difficult boss.
From being selfish and self-centered to constantly seeking praise and assurance, people can react negatively to any feedback, especially from a junior colleague.
On the episode, what to say first to a problematic person and what never to do to bring them onto your side of the street.
