The Bosshole Chronicles Podcast

Perhaps you’ve worked for one – those all-too-common difficult, ineffective, and sometimes downright mean managers and leaders. We call them Bossholes® and we believe no one was born to be a Bosshole®.  Hosts Sara Best and John Broer of Real Good Ventures feature thought leaders, subject matter experts, and Bosshole® stories to shine a spotlight on Bosshole® prevention and intervention strategies. They share real life, applicable, and game-changing stories and insights to unravel the complexities of Bosshole® dynamics and chart a course towards reinventing the workplace!  Their aim? To transform the workplace and help people find meaning and fulfillment in their work!
