“A reader asks about annual reviews. Spoiler alert – we hate them. We talk why, what to do better, and how not to be a Bad Boss with annual reviews.” Listen for more on the latest Bad Boss Brief.

Welcome to the Bad Boss Brief — your no-BS guide on how NOT to be an a*****e at work. Hosted by an executive and an executive coach, we dive into real stories and practical insights on bad bosses, better leadership, and unpack how to recognize if you’re the problem.

Together, we bring over 50 years of exec-level scars from Intel, Apple, Adobe, Publicis, and Nikon — plus a creative edge from our work in advertising, marketing, and the arts.
