Can You Be Friends With Your Boss? with Tom Baragwanath, 360Learning
Have you ever hired or worked for a friend? Could you be friends outside of work with a boss?
In this episode, Joei’s own direct report, Tom Baragwanath from 360Learning sat down with Joei to answer those exact questions. They’ve worked together for 5 years now and knew each other beforehand, but that doesn’t answer the question: Has it ever been awkward? Would you do it again? How do they navigate this?
From bringing your whole self to work to navigating relationships in the leadership ladder, Joei and Tom explore these burning questions and dive into the murky waters of personal and professional boundaries. Plus, they share some tips and tricks on managing those awkward conversations and delivering critical feedback (especially when it's a friend, or worse, a spouse). 😬
