Work Dope is a podcast on the messiness, and the potential, of humans, at work. This is a solo episode on the topic of fear-based bosses and how to navigate if you have one. 

Summary:

• Fear-based environments are everywhere in Corporate America (and beyond)
• Sometimes the fear is in micro-environments (like, maybe just your team or department)
• Some signs you could be in a fear-based workplace include micromanagement, negative value judgement when new ideas are being presented, boss treating employees like children
• Fear-based management styles can lead lead to a "paycheck mentality' among employee, low or passive engagement, and sometimes, rebellion!
• Antidotes to this style of management are described in the video
• Practice the antidotes and things will shift - potentially you'll get better opportunities, or other factors will allow you to move on
