The Bosshole® Chronicles: Recent Episodes

Real Good Ventures

Never waste a good opportunity to learn from a bad boss. Our guests and Subject Matter Experts share their stories about challenging, difficult, and even mean bosses that they have had through their careers. Hosts Sara Best (Persuader) and John Broer (Captain) explore what happened, what made the relationship difficult, and even the role WE play in our Bosshole experiences. More importantly, we apply some of our insight and analysis around behavioral science and emotional intelligence so that we (and managers listening in) can learn from the experiences and avoid common Bosshole Blunders. If you have questions or stories you want to share, contact us at info@realgoodventures.com

The moment you snap, fix, control, or go quiet isn’t a “personality flaw” it’s often a nervous system response to a threat you didn’t even notice. Sara Best sits down with somatic leadership coach Kate Dethmer of the Conscious Leadership Group to unpack what conscious leadership looks like when it’s real: messy meetings, subtle fear, and the everyday triggers that pull us out of presence.

If your workplace culture feels tense, fragile, or weirdly stuck, it might not be a motivation problem at all. It might be a communication and unlearning problem and it shows up fastest in the gap between Gen Z, millennials, and the leaders still running on yesterday’s playbook. Sara Best sits down with Amanda Schneider, author of Work for What’s Next, in Part 2 of her TBC interview to talk about why culture is failing and what it takes to rebuild trust and performance without turning the workplace into a battle of generations.

Everyone has an opinion about Gen Z at work, but most of the hottest takes miss what’s actually breaking: the workplace is still built on analog rules while expectations move at digital speed. We sit down with strategist, researcher, and keynote speaker Amanda Schneider to talk about her national bestselling book, Work for What’s Next, and why “get back to the office” is not a culture strategy.

Power is easy to grab. The harder move is refusing it, and that’s where George Washington still teaches modern leaders the most. With America on the eve of its 250th anniversary, we take a close look at why Washington became the unanimous choice to lead the Continental Army and later serve as the first President of the United States, then translate those qualities into practical leadership lessons for managers and supervisors today.

Nobody tells you the hardest part of becoming a manager: the job changes overnight, but your skill set doesn’t. I rewind to the early 1990s, when I stepped out of individual contributor sales and into leading sales and marketing with almost no real mentoring. I was frustrated, second-guessing myself, and running into old-school management habits that looked normal on paper but felt wrong in practice. That’s what sent me searching for real management training and a better way to lead.

Your attention isn’t just getting interrupted, it’s getting retrained. We sit down with digital wellness guide and speaker Mark Ostach to unpack why so many of us feel rushed, reactive, and oddly disconnected even when we’re “caught up.” Mark joins us to share the heart behind his new book, The Gift of Connection: Reclaiming Presence in the Age of Distraction, and to make a clear case that presence is no longer a nice-to-have skill. It’s a survival skill for leaders, parents, and anyone living on screens.

A dusty box in the basement turns into a full-on leadership time machine. I stumble onto a stack of handwritten memos from my old manager “Fred,” the same boss from our early “Don’t Bring Him Back” story, and reading them instantly brings back the stress of being managed by metrics instead of being led by insight.

“We only promote from within” sounds like a values-driven promise, but what happens when that promise puts the wrong person in a critical seat? John Broer and Karen Shulman dig into the uncomfortable reality: internal promotions can fail, sometimes spectacularly, when organizations rely on seniority, loyalty, or gut feel instead of clear evidence of job fit.

Memorial Day asks for more than a moment of silence, so we take a different path this week and sit with the words Americans once used when the stakes were life and death. I’m recording on Memorial Day weekend, thinking about the more than 1.3 million Americans who have died in service, and the debt that number represents: families, futures, and everyday people who never got to come home. If we want to understand freedom, we have to be willing to look straight at what it costs.

PowerPoint may be the most common management tool on Earth, but it might also be the fastest way to lose the room. We sit down with Eric Harris, creator of The Campfire Method, to rethink how leaders communicate when the stakes are high and change is constant. Instead of treating presentations as a deck you “run,” Eric argues for a more human approach where we earn belief, reduce anxiety, and help people move from point A to point B as an act of compassion.

A “toxic leader” can sound like a fixed identity, but Dr. Kevin Sansberry II pushes us to look at something more actionable: toxic leadership behaviors and the systems that reward them.

Bad leaders don’t always look like villains. Sometimes they look like someone who means well, loves competition, and tracks a number on a dashboard that quietly trains the team to waste time.

Pressure doesn’t turn you into a different leader. It turns the lights on. John Broer sits down with Sara Best to unpack what they call “the heart of a leader,” the most elusive part of their whole person model (Head, Heart, and Briefcase, plus Baggage). The goal is practical: give managers and supervisors a way to check what’s driving their behavior before stress pulls them into control, avoidance, or classic Bosshole® mode.

A boss pulls you aside with a quiet request: “Research this and tell me it’s fine.” Then comes the real tell: don’t put anything in writing, don’t talk to anyone else, and don’t come back with “no.” That moment is where careers bend and consciences bruise, and it’s exactly where we start with Wharton professor and negotiation scholar Dr. G. Richard Shell, author of The Conscience Code. We unpack the true story that sparked the book, a young lawyer pressured to justify a move that could cross the line under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and what her choice reveals about power, fear, and ethical decision-making at work.

AI is moving faster than most org charts, and that speed is exposing a hard truth: buying tools is easy, but keeping culture intact is the real work. We dig into a framework created by The Predictive Index™ that names five “superpowers” HR already has to guide AI adoption without fragmenting teams, commoditizing talent, or quietly eroding trust. If you lead people, manage change, or influence strategy, this is your reminder that the human side of work is now the competitive edge.

You can need a license to do almost anything, yet you can become a manager with “jack squat” preparation and still have daily power over people’s health, stress, and careers. That’s the tension at the heart of our flashback conversation with leadership expert Dr. Todd Dewett, recorded as teams were clawing their way out of peak pandemic uncertainty and still painfully relevant for today’s remote work and hybrid work reality.

Trust is thinning across today’s workplaces, and the cracks aren’t coming from the usual suspects alone. We dive into Glassdoor’s 2026 worklife trends and unpack what managers and teams are actually feeling: a power swing back to employers, a rise in “forever layoffs,” remote work turning into a career trade-off, and AI anxiety that’s more about leadership choices than the tools themselves. Along the way, we share what to fix first and how to do it without adding noise or burnout.

Change isn’t new, but the pile-up is real. Between shifting budgets, reorgs, tech churn, and personal life turns, even strong teams feel their vitality drop. We open up a practical, empathetic way to navigate uncertainty using the change curve: status quo, disruption, exploration, and rebuilding. Instead of pretending the dip doesn’t exist, we name it, normalize it, and use simple moves to climb out—without burning people out or shaming them for human responses.

A fifth anniversary deserves a true origin story, and ours begins with a manager who meant well and nearly torched hard-won credibility. We rewind to the first Bosshole Chronicles episode and unpack two moments that shaped our mission: a plant visit where a leader faked fluency and a high-stakes client dinner that turned into a monologue. The details are uncomfortable on purpose—because every leader has felt the urge to fill silence, prove expertise, or take control at the worst time.

Gratitude gets real when work gets hard. We mark Thanksgiving by leaning into the uncomfortable truth that thankfulness isn’t just for cozy moments—it’s a practical, biological, and leadership-level tool for moving from fight or flight into calm, focus, and connection. John and Sara reflect on why gratitude helps leaders navigate tough feedback, toxic dynamics, and the wider “emotional recession” many teams feel today.

Forget the lazy Gen Z cliché. We asked RGV's young pro to share what bias looks like on the ground, then brought in author and generational sociologist Lisa X. Walden to unpack the real forces shaping how the newest cohort works, learns, and leads. The conversation moves from stereotypes to systems, showing how curiosity disarms conflict, how digital native skills accelerate adoption of AI and new tools, and why mental health resources are not perks but infrastructure.

Sunday shouldn’t feel like a countdown to dread.

The ground beneath work has shifted, and many leaders are still wearing shoes from another era. We dig into the “great chasm” between how managers were taught to lead and what today’s teams actually need, with guest Lisa Walden bringing sharp insight from her book The Future of Work Is Human. This first part of our three-part series tackles the return-to-office debate without clichés, showing why mandates may fill desks but drain trust—and how a clear why, intentional connection, and outcomes-first thinking can turn flexibility into a competitive edge.

The mysterious Scholar Reference Profile – analytical, reserved, imaginative, and technically-minded – takes center stage in this deep dive from The Bosshhole® Chronicles. Host John Broer unpacks the unique behavioral DNA that makes Scholars tick: their moderately high dominance, low extroversion, moderately high patience, and notably high formality create professionals who crave independence, reflection time, stability, and freedom from risk and error.

What does it really take to become a CEO – and how do you prepare to eventually step away? In this remarkably candid conversation, Vince DiPofi, CEO of SSOE Group, peels back the curtain on his leadership journey from drafting board to corner office, revealing the personal transformation required to lead a global engineering firm.

"You don't know what it's like until you're actually in the seat," DiPofi confesses, describing the overwhelming feeling of responsibility for 1,500 employees and countless clients. Taking the helm in January 2020, his leadership was immediately tested by the pandemic, forcing him to lean on crucial advice: "Just because you're the new guy, you don't get to make bad decisions."

Marcel Schwantes joins us to share the harrowing experience that inspired his new book "Humane Leadership: Lead with Radical Love, Be a Kick-Ass Boss." In a powerful testament to the physical impact of toxic workplaces, Marcel recounts how workplace stress caused his body to literally shut down—leaving him temporarily paralyzed and unable to walk for a month. This life-changing event became the catalyst for his five-year journey researching the leadership qualities that create thriving workplaces rather than destructive ones.

What transforms a caring manager into someone their employees fear? According to executive coach Sabina Nawaz, it's not a personality defect—it's pressure. Drawing from her own jarring experience of returning from maternity leave to find herself snapping at her team, Nawaz reveals the hidden forces that push good people into problematic leadership behaviors. This eye-opening conversation challenges the myth that there are simply "good" and "bad" bosses. Nawaz, who spent 14 years at Microsoft working with leaders like Bill Gates, explains how both types of boss reside within us all. The difference lies in our awareness and the tools we use to navigate workplace pressures without sacrificing our humanity.

Are your management practices stuck in the 1800s? They might be if you're still operating with conventional management approaches. In this eye-opening episode, Jason Lauritsen reveals why so many workplaces struggle with engagement, retention, and performance — our management methods were designed during the industrial revolution to make humans behave like machines.

Jason introduces his groundbreaking Check-In Method™, a practical framework that acknowledges what decades of research confirm: employees experience work as a relationship, not as a mechanical transaction. This misalignment explains phenomena like "quiet quitting," which Jason powerfully reframes not as employee laziness but as a management failure and a cry for help from workers pushed beyond sustainable limits.

The modern mental health conversation has taken a concerning turn, according to clinical therapist Jonelle Massey. Rather than building resilience, we've defined wellbeing as the absence of discomfort and the avoidance of challenges—a definition that ultimately leaves us ill-equipped for life's inevitable difficulties. Drawing from her experiences as a former D1 athlete and her work with leaders across various fields, Massey presents a compelling alternative: embrace adversity as the training ground for emotional strength.

Freedom isn't free. This simple yet profound truth anchors our special Memorial Day episode as we explore the origins, evolution, and significance of this solemn American holiday that honors those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation.

Did you know that approximately 43% of Americans, primarily younger generations, don't fully understand Memorial Day's origins? Beyond barbecues and beach trips marking summer's unofficial start lies a day born from the ashes of the Civil War, where an estimated 750,000 Americans perished fighting each other on home soil. We trace how this commemoration began in 1868 as "Decoration Day," when communities would adorn the graves of fallen soldiers with flowers and flags, and how it gradually transformed into the national observance we know today.

Lee's fateful directive to General Richard Ewell in 1863 and modern workplace challenges, John reveals the profound consequences of leadership language that leaves room for interpretation.

We wanted to take some time this week to reflect not only on how thankful we are for our families, but also for those with whom we get to work. Gratitude in the workplace is far too rare (or rarely demonstrated) and it is a discipline that all people, especially managers, can adopt. We just wanted to pause and think about how expressing gratitude is healthy for your heart and body.

This week, Sara takes us through a few examples that have been weighing heavily on her heart. She is experiencing, first-hand, the devastating effects of Bossholes with some of our clients. People that are finding themselves in the throes of frustration, anxiety, and burnout due to managers that can't seem to get out of The Bosshole Zone and, in turn, are dragging people down with them. These times may call for courage and boldness from those that desire a change to find an employer where they will grow and thrive. They are out there - just stay strong!

Meet Heather, everyone! (a Promoter) An incredibly gifted professional who fell victim to a Bosshole that wasn't even her manager. Some Bossholes are so insecure that they allow their judgment to be clouded by jealousy and fear and, in turn, hold others back from reaching their optimum potential. This is a great lesson for any manager that needs to shift a scarcity mentality to one of abundance.

In this episode, we hear from Santo (Venturer) as he shares his experience with a Bosshole named Clark.

We all know how costly that can be. Makes you wonder who the real Bosshole is - the COO or the CEO that keeps him on board.

When a manager works behind the scenes to disrupt team members, the loss of credibility isn't far behind. Making changes to the work of direct reports without their knowledge only breeds distrust and disengagement. And it's only made worse when the Bosshole won't admit to his/her mistake and blames the employee. All too familiar a story that ends with a good person leaving a bad boss.

The Bosshole who shuts the door and only comes out to tell people what to do will find it difficult to get people on board with any initiative. Too often, managers take a Command and Control approach only to find they have neither. If you want people to buy-in you've got to give them chance to weigh-in. CLearly something this Bosshole has yet to learn.
