#089 Leadership Archetypes with Eric Charran
In this episode of the Culture Coach podcast, I sit down with Eric Charran, author of an upcoming book about workplace leadership archetypes. Through painfully relatable stories, Eric breaks down the various "boss types" we've all encountered (or been guilty of ourselves) and provides practical strategies for not just surviving but thriving under different leadership styles.
Whether you're an early-career professional or a seasoned executive, this conversation offers both comfort and practical wisdom for navigating the sometimes choppy waters of workplace relationships.
Here are a few of my takeaways:
1. Success in dealing with challenging managers requires moving past the initial emotional reaction to perceived injustice and understanding the pressures and motivations behind their behavior.
2. Having workplace confidants can be valuable for processing and navigating challenging leadership dynamics - it helps confirm you're not alone in your experiences.
3. Many managers exhibit multiple archetypes of behavior
4. Modern organizations are increasingly recognizing that how results are achieved is as important as what is achieved.
