Quick Lift: Handling Narcissists, Bullies & Micromanagers bosses

Micromanagers, Narcissists, and Bullies — and how to protect your peace without losing your edge.

Have you ever worked for someone who monitors you like a toddler near an open staircase? You don’t get bonus points for suffering quietly.

In this Loud & Lifted: Quick Lift, Betsy recaps insights from "The Management Guru" Lynda Harvey to give you a playbook for the three most draining leadership personalities. We break down exactly how to spot them and the specific, repeatable moves you can use this week to protect your confidence.

In this episode, we cover:

• The Micromanager: Distinguishing between "trust issues" vs. "power trips"—and the "Train Your Boss" method to stop the hovering before it starts.
• The Narcissist: Why you can't win by confronting them, and how to use the "Gray Rock" method to disappear from their drama radar.
• The Bully: The difference between tough leadership and abuse, and how to "document like a detective" to protect your career record.

Key Takeaway: If leadership protects the bully, that’s the culture. Learn when to stay and fight, and when to protect your next move.
