We've all had them — the micromanagers, the credit stealers, the screamers, the ones who treat “reply all at midnight” like a leadership strategy. Bad bosses are everywhere, but here's the kicker: leadership is learned. Which means we can unlearn the toxic part and redefine how we lead. In this episode, we sit down with Mita Mallick — Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author of The Devil Emails at Midnight: What Good Leaders Can Learn From Bad Bosses, LinkedIn Top Voice, corporate changemaker, and fierce advocate for fixing broken workplaces. Together, we unpack why bad bosses are made (not born), how to spot when you're slipping into toxic habits yourself, and what it takes to build the kind of leadership people actually want to follow. We get into: The real reasons people become bad bosses (hint: stress, modeling, and unhealed personal stuff) Why micromanagement, fear, and time-hoarding are leadership red flags How inclusion, credit-sharing, and genuine presence boost retention more than hoodies and free apps ever will Practical ways to “manage up” when your boss is… less than inspiring How to stop being that boss and start modeling the kind of leader you'd want to work for Because nobody wants to be the horror story told at happy hour 10 years from now.

Connect with Andy here: Website | LinkedInConnect with Mita: LinkedIn: Mita MallickTop 5 Key Notes:1.Bad Bosses Aren't Born, They're MadeMita emphasizes that most bad bosses don't set out to be that way—often they're shaped by their own experiences, circumstances, or lack of self-awareness. Many toxic behaviors are responses to external or personal stress, not innate malice.2.Recognizing Archetypes of Bad LeadershipMita's book introduces 13 archetypes of bad bosses, including Medusa (the bully), the Chopper (micromanager), the Napper (disengaged boss), and Tony Soprano (talent hoarder). These archetypes help us recognize and address negative behaviors in leadership.3.Impact of Exclusion and Toxic WorkplacesDrawing from her personal journey, Mita highlights the profound impact that exclusion and toxic bosses can have on employee wellbeing, engagement, and confidence. Her own experiences with bullies followed her from childhood schoolyards into the workplace, fueling her passion for building inclusive cultures.4.Advice for Employees Facing Toxic LeadershipMita suggests practical steps for employees: document toxic behavior, develop an exit strategy (even if it's internal), network discreetly, and focus on activities outside work that rebuild confidence. She stresses that individuals alone cannot fix toxic workplaces or change others' behavior—they have to prioritize their own well-being.5.Role of HR and Talent Professionals in Addressing ToxicityThe conversation offers guidance for HR and talent leaders: document issues, influence decision-makers with facts, and recognize when to recommend coaching—or, when necessary, help leaders move on. Using curiosity, vulnerability, and honest feedback can guide leaders toward positive change, but some situations may require more decisive...

Building Better Employee Experiences Through Leadership  Shep interviews Mita Mallick, marketing and culture change expert and bestselling author. She talks about her book The Devil Emails at Midnight and the impact of internal workplace culture on employees and customers.  This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more:    What impact does internal workplace culture have on the external customer experience?  How can leaders set healthier communication boundaries with their employees?  How can companies create an inclusive culture that values both employees and customers equally?  What are some negative leadership behaviors that can affect employee engagement and customer service?  Why is it important for leaders to address problematic employee behavior immediately?  Top Takeaways:    Employees are sometimes the 'forgotten customers' in a business. Just as companies focus on serving their external customers, it is important to also care for internal customers, your team members.   When employees feel valued and respected, they are more likely to treat customers in the same way. The quality of service on the outside is often a reflection of how employees are treated within the organization.  The worst behaviors in any workplace become part of its culture if they are allowed to continue. Whether it's disrespect or disengagement, what leaders and team members let slide becomes the norm.   Leaders should consider whether their personal habits force their team members to sacrifice their personal time. Work doesn't need to spill into all hours of the day and night. For example, when employees feel pressured to respond to emails outside of their work hours, it can cause burnout and stress. Even a simple message like "no need to respond right away" can help set healthy boundaries.  When things change, you have to be willing to revise your goals. Have an honest conversation with your team to find out if they have all the tools and resources that they need to achieve a goal. If not, find out if you can help them or if it is time to set more realistic goals.   Admitting when you are struggling shows strength, not weakness. If someone is dealing with personal struggles, being open about it helps others understand and can make the workplace more supportive.  Bad bosses can teach as much, if not more, than great bosses. Watching what doesn't work and feeling the impact of negative behaviors can inspire people to do the opposite.   Great leaders regularly examine their own behavior. It's easy to spot toxic bosses in others, but it is harder to recognize those traits in yourself. Leaders should take the time to ask themselves, "Am I making it harder for someone to succeed here?"   Plus, Mita shares memorable stories of bad bosses she's encountered (including herself) and the lessons from those experiences. Tune in! Quote:   "The biggest complaint in any relationship, whether at home or work, is a lack of time for each other. If you're not making time for your team, you really need to ask yourself why you're leading them."    About:    Mita Mallick is an inclusive marketing expert and cultural change agent known for transforming organizations. She's the bestselling author of Reimagine Inclusion and , The Devil Emails at Midnight: What Good Leaders Can Learn From Bad Bosses.  Shep Hyken is a customer service and experience expert, New York Times bestselling author, award-winning keynote speaker, and host of Amazing Business Radio.    Learn more about your ad choices.

We've all had bad bosses.We might have even been one. At the very least, we've probably let people down who counted on us.We all carry burdens from our past that show up in how we lead. And we're all confronting systems that foster toxic workplace cultures where overwork and blurred boundaries are the norm, spaces that don't feel safe or generative, and where there is little to no accountability.The question we face is simple, but urgent: How do we want to lead?Our leadership can reinforce toxic systems and norms. Or we can learn to recognize our own burdens and do the work to become more aware, adaptable, and flexible. We can create spaces where people feel seen, heard, and valued, even when systems feel unstable or unfair.Because leading is about deciding, in every moment, whether we respond from our burdens or from our values. And my guest today helps us reflect on those choices and decide how we want to lead through her own lived experiences with bad bosses. Mita Mallick is a Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author who is on a mission to fix what's broken in our workplaces.

Have you ever had a boss who left you walking on eggshells, never sure what mood they'd bring into the office? Maybe they humiliated people in meetings, lashed out without warning, or drained you so much that you came home with nothing left for yourself. A bully boss can affect far more than your workday. In this episode, I'm talking with Mita Mallick, speaker, workplace strategist, coach, and bestselling author. She's sharing stories from her own career and what she's learned about surviving toxic leaders - from executives who throw shoes to managers who use “toxic positivity” as a weapon. Mita also offers strategies for spotting warning signs in an interview, building an exit plan that protects your career, and regaining your confidence once you've left. We also explore the patterns that keep people stuck in unhealthy workplaces: how old experiences can shape what we tolerate, why many of us think we can “outwork” a bad boss, and what it really takes to reclaim your well-being.

What if the “panic habits” leaders default to are the very things burning out their best people? In this Partnering Leadership episode, Mita Mallick—author of The Devil Emails at Midnight—joins Mahan to unpack practical ways senior leaders can replace performative urgency with clear operating rules that people can trust. You will hear why bad bosses are made, not born, and how pressure from markets, role models, and personal crises can turn ordinary leaders into micromanagers.Mita gets specific about power dynamics. A 4:30 a.m. email from the CEO trains teams to jump, even when the intent is “no rush.” She explains how to set explicit after-hours rules and model them yourself. The goal is to stop the 4 a.m. back-and-forth and restore predictable rhythms for high-stakes work.Calendars signal culture. Mita argues for a deliberate meeting cleanse, real breaks, and protected one-on-ones. You will hear why “we are not AI agents,” why canceling a meeting can be the kindest move you make this week, and how simple touch points create loyalty.Leaders also get a playbook for honest feedback. Mita shares how to create safety, why alumni calls six to twelve months after someone leaves yield the most actionable insight, and how a short journaling habit helps you see patterns in your own behavior before they damage trust.Finally, Mita challenges a core assumption: most work is not life or death. Treating it that way creates burnout. She closes with a frank read on the broken employee–employer contract and a likely shift toward more consultant-style work, which makes clarity, expectations, and operating rules even more important for CEOs and boards.Actionable TakeawaysYou will learn how to set a clear after-hours rule that stops the 4 a.m. reply spiral, including what “urgent” actually means in your context.Hear how to replace micromanagement with outcomes and guardrails when life outside work feels out of control.You will learn why your calendar is your culture, and how a simple meeting cleanse reveals time for deep work and real one-on-ones.Hear how to protect one-on-ones without turning them into therapy. Mita shares a practical cadence and a simple check-in script that builds connection.You will learn a low-cost feedback system: invite coaching, thank in the moment, follow up with changes, and never hunt “who said what.”Hear how to get clearer truth with alumni calls six to twelve months after exit interviews, when the emotion is gone and facts are usable.You will learn to write simple hybrid rules that reduce proximity bias and make global teams feel fair and seen.Hear how to reset leader expectations about urgency and burnout, starting with this line: “Most of our work is not life or death.”You will learn why culture becomes the worst behavior you tolerate and how to intervene when disengagement starts to spiral.Hear how to prepare for a future with looser roles and project-based deployment, and why clarity and operating rules will be your retention edge.Connect with Mita MallickMita Mallick LinkedIn The Devil Emails at Midnight: What Good Leaders Can Learn from Bad Bosses Connect with Mahan Tavakoli: Mahan Tavakoli Website Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn Partnering Leadership Website

What does it take to be a "good boss"? We all say it, that we'll never do XYZ that a boss did in the past, I"ll never be like that, etc. and then, as we navigate the oppressive systems in the workplace dating back to the days when auto manufacturing began, we find ourselves (oopsily) regurgitating the same problematic behavior that we swore we'd never do.In this episode, the ultimate workplace change champion, Mita Mallick shares insights from her new book, 'The Devil Emails At Midnight: What Good Leaders Can Learn From Bad Bosses'. We explore the ways that we experienced "bad bosses" but also, how we in fact were the bad boss at one point in our careers. Through incredible storytelling, similar to her first book, 'Reimagine Inclusion: Debunking 13 Myths to Transform Your Workplace', Mita shares her 12 worst bosses, and number 13 is her, in 'The Devil Emails At Midnight: What Good Leaders Can Learn From Bad Bosses'. We're not dwelling in what went wrong, we're sharing stories and examples to plant thoughts for how leaders can take just one behavior and change it, as early as tomorrow.

Nadeem is in a twisty mood, and when he asks Chat GPT to pick a movie with "unexpected twists", it recommended Tarsem Singh's "The Fall" for the next movie review. Mita and Nadeem give Ari Aster another chance to their own detriment. 

MIta get's real specific when she asks Chat GPT to pick options for "cozy-magical realism movies from the 90s". That's how Mita and Nadeem end up watching 1992's "Orlando" for the next movie review. Mita is packing her bags for "The Odyssey". 

En este programa te hablo de mi participación en la Andómita. Una carrera con salida desde Andorra y llegada a las costas de Tarragona. En total, algo más de 500kms. y unos 27000 metros de desnivel positivo en un máximo de 190 horas.Esta carrera tiene 5 bases de vida, distanciadas entre 80 y 130kms. No está marcada y es imprescindible la navegación GPS.El material obligatorio (y recomendado) es muy extenso, lo que hace que las mochilas tengan que ser como mínimo, de unos 20L.Contacto:juan@ellaboratoriodejuan.com

It's a murder mystery double feature. Mita and Nadeem pick a second movie from Chat GPT's choices for "murder mysteries I haven't seen but should" and watch 2009, "The Secret In Their Eyes" for the next movie review. They also have some opinions about "Superman". 

Amidst a heat wave, Nadeem asks Chat GPT to pick a "lesser known murder mystery". The robots deliver when they suggest Bong Joon Ho's 2003, "Memories Of Murder" for the next movie review. Mita and Nadeem talk movie length and Shrek. 

Mita wanted an "underrated, international musical". So, Chat GPT picked the 2013 Swedish drama, "We Are The Best!" for the next movie review. Never heard of it? Neither had Mita and Nadeem. They make up for it by talking about how hot Brad Pitt is. 

We are a bit late, but here is the next movie review! Nadeem wanted "comedies that I probably haven't seen, but should" and Chat GPT gave 2009's political satire, "In The Loop". Mita talks, a lot, about "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2". 

Mita get's specific and asked Chat GPT to pick an offbeat indie dramedy from the early 2000's. The robots did their thing and "Igby Goes Down" was picked for the next movie review. Mita and Nadeem both want to see hot, rich people on screen.
