S4E8 - Dealing with difficult bosses, clients, and colleagues

Small Talk with RainKraft - Career-lifting Conversations

Spending long hours with difficult people and forcing yourself to put up with them isn't healthy or sustainable. How can you better understand what is happening in such interactions? How do you know when a ‘bad’ boss isn't really just someone with a different working style - and how do you align your styles for better outcomes? And what do you do when the relationship is truly toxic?
