Jodi gave the biggest speech of her life on Thursday.
It was an hour #keynote to 750 people at the Path to Agility conference in Columbus, Ohio.
She shared the story of working for a boss who to the outside world was beautiful, charismatic and successful.
But to those in the office, Jodi's boss was a #BULLY whose leadership style was one of public humiliation and #shaming.
“I must have hired the HANDICAPPED,” she’d say aloud if one of them made a mistake.
It was awful.
She must have thought it would motivate us to work harder to not make ANY mistakes.
But... it had actually the opposite effect.
- Jodi and her coworkers didn’t ask for help.
- They didn’t bring things up when they noticed a problem.
- They certainly didn’t do anything to bring extra attention to themselves or their projects.
++++++++++++++
Jodi knew she couldn’t live her whole professional career in fear and dread.
She eventually made the leap and left that well paid and “stable” job that was killing her slowly.
