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."

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.

The Love, Happiness and Success Podcast With Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby
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.

Mita shares insights from her new book, discussing how bad bosses can emerge from various pressures and stresses, and emphasizes the need for self-reflection and accountability in leadership roles. They delve into the significance of recognition, coaching, and creating a culture of openness, while also addressing the challenges of micromanagement and disengagement in the workplace. The discussion highlights the evolving nature of leadership in today's world and the importance of fostering a supportive environment for employees.Takeaways- Bad bosses can emerge from personal and professional stress.- Self-awareness is crucial for effective leadership.- Recognition and appreciation can significantly impact employee morale.- Micromanagement often stems from personal insecurities.- Creating a culture of vulnerability encourages open communication.- Feedback should be framed as coaching rather than criticism.- Disengagement in the workplace can spread like a virus.- Leaders should model the behavior they want to see in their teams.- Hiring processes should focus on facts over feelings.- Leadership is about empowering others, not just directing them.

Summer is done and that means Mita is ready for spooky season. So, when she asked Chat GPT to pick "...films that have significant tonal shifts", she chose the vampire horror, "From Dusk Till Dawn" for the next movie review. Nadeem and Mita talk "The Roses", Marvel and sweater weather.
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
It's easy for us to call out the bad bosses. It's harder to look in the mirror and confront the bad boss staring back at you. In this episode, you'll discover how anyone can fall into the trap of becoming a bad boss—often without realizing it—as well as strategies managers and employees can use to make work more manageable.WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:During the course of her career, top workplace strategist Mita Mallick has worked for a wide range of bad bosses:The bad boss who fell asleep in meetings.The bad boss who took credit for all her work.The bad boss who once threw her designer shoe at Mita's colleague.The bad boss who told her she was a rat and demanded loyalty.The bad boss who told her she was overconfident and needed to stay in her lane.The bad boss who gossiped about her to others and told her peers she didn't really know what she was doing.The bad boss who was so nice and so profoundly incompetent and as much as she wanted to, it was really hard to hate him.In this episode, we'll explore a few of the many ways bosses can create an unhealthy workplace and disengagement, how any one of us could be susceptible to becoming one of those bad bosses for someone else, and how we can manage and mitigate against this.***ABOUT OUR GUEST:Mita Mallick is a WSJ and USA Today bestselling author, LinkedIn Top Voice, workplace strategist, speaker, and coach to start-up founders, executives, and public CEOs.

Episode Highlight: In this episode of the Embracing “Only” podcast, we welcome back bestselling author and corporate change-maker Mita Mallick. With her signature candor, Mita shares wisdom from her upcoming book The Devil Emails at Midnight: What Good Leaders Can Learn from Bad Bosses, which explores 13 “devil boss” archetypes, drawing on personal stories and real-life failures turned into lessons in leadership. Mita is a Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author on a mission to fix what's broken in our workplaces. With a background spanning global brands like Unilever, Pfizer, and Johnson & Johnson, Mita brings deep insight into marketing, HR, and organizational transformation. Key Discussion Points:02:58 Why Good People Become Bad Bosses: Stress in the market, pressure from above, or personal issues at home can cause leaders to act out in harmful ways.06:29 Beloved but Incompetent Leaders: Mediocre men keep getting promoted based on potential, while overqualified women of color are passed over.12:30 Diversity Under Attack: As corporate DEI commitments backslide, Mita challenges companies to stand firm and urges employees to "vote with their wallets”.16:48 Internal vs. External Consistency: If your external brand doesn't match your internal culture, expect to be called out.21:39 Building a Personal Safety Net: Loyalty is dead. Women of color must protect themselves in workplaces that don't always protect them.29:08 Burnout & Overfunctioning: Women of color are told to "work twice as hard" to get half as far. This is exploitation masked as opportunity.33:24 The Midnight Email Culture: What does it say about a company when leaders only respond between 10 PM and 1 AM?In Summary: Mita Mallick encourages us to reimagine leadership in modern workplaces.

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 cheats and stacks the deck when he asked Chat GPT to pick "...films starring Shah Rukh Khan that I might not have seen but should've." Chat GPT took the bait and Nadeem got what he wanted: to watch 2016's "Fan" for the next movie review. Mita talks about her best friend getting engaged.
The Grinner. Medusa. The Sheriff.No, these aren't winners of a Halloween costume contest — they're archetypes in Mita Mallick's latest book, The Devil Emails at Midnight: What Good Leaders Can Learn from Bad Bosses.The Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestseller author Mita Mallick joins the newest episode of Campaign Chemistry to discuss what all of us can learn from bad bosses. She emphasizes that communication isn't just about emails and meetings; it's about fostering a culture in which people truly feel seen. In today's climate of layoffs, dwindling retention and rising attrition, we tackle issues such as accountability, the risks of toxic positivity and the reason empathy may be advertising's most underrated leadership skill.From managing up and journaling for self-reflection, to acknowledging grief and personal challenges at work, Mallick's new book offers a road map for leaders seeking to improve — and for employees navigating difficult dynamics.The sound bite"It's not easy being a boss.”The takeawaysIt is critical to treat employees as valued consumers.Bad bosses are made, not born.Effective communication is crucial for good leadership and team dynamics.Leaders should regularly check in with their teams to foster a supportive environment.Journaling can help leaders reflect on their behaviors and improve over time.Asking for coaching and feedback from team members can enhance leadership effectiveness.Managing up is essential for employees to navigate difficult boss relationships.Empathy for bosses can grow from understanding their challenges and pressures.Toxic positivity can undermine team morale and lead to burnout.Leaders should acknowledge personal struggles and the impact these struggles can have on work relationships.

What's worse than a boss who emails you at midnight, demanding instant replies? How about one who calls you “Mohammed” instead of your real name, Madhumita, or another who expects you to dive back into work just days after your father's sudden death.

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".
In this week's episode of the Flux News Show, Greg Newman, Harry Campion-Evans, and Mita Chaturvedi break down why middle distillates like diesel are defying the trend and driving oil markets. They dive deep into the distillates rally, unpacking how chronically low stocks, disjointed refining activity, and CTA-led momentum flipped what looked like a stop-out into a full-blown bull run.Meanwhile, soaring diesel-led margins and rare summer tightness in the physical market are reshaping the narrative on cracks and spreads — and few saw it coming.The team also touches on new hedge fund launches, the shifting macro backdrop around US–EU trade tensions, and the latest on the Murban pricing saga, as PLATTS faces scrutiny over a controversial methodology tweak.In the Crystal Ball, Greg, Harry, and Mita debate whether the distillate tightness is here to stay - and what it means for Brent, refinery utilization, and product flows heading into peak demand season.
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.
Nadeem asked Chat GPT for a lesser-known thriller that he hadn't seen, but should. The robots did their thing and suggested the 2017 thriller, "Berlin Syndrome" for the next movie review. Mita and Nadeem give their (spoiler-free) reviews of "Materialists".
