If you haven’t had to deal with a horrible boss, consider yourself lucky. 75 percent of people say their boss is the worst part of their job. But according to leadership expert Kyle M.K., toxic bosses—or “brilliant jerks—are about to go extinct.
“In the last thirty years, most businesses were built by people recognized simultaneously as geniuses and jerks, like Steve Jobs and Travis Kalanick,” says Kyle in his new book The Economics of Emotion. “But the world is a different place now. Stories and emotion travel at the speed of social networks, and the brilliant jerk persona is becoming an obsolete leadership model.”
In an engaging and thought-provoking interview, Kyle can discuss:
Fish rot from the head: Why one brilliant jerk creates a toxic workplace culture
Why emotionally intelligent leaders are more successful—and how to become one
Purpose is Power: How organizations can create a motivating and meaningful purpose, and why this goes beyond simply making money
Fear Factor: Why many leaders tend to misunderstand and misuse fear
Successful tactics for establishing a culture of hard-working, loyal people—from the hiring and onboarding processes to maintaining overall happiness
