Quick Lift: Leading Through Bad Bosses (and Not Becoming One)

In under 10 minutes, we pull the most actionable moves from Mita Mallick’s The Devil Emails at Midnight so you can navigate bad-boss dynamics and sharpen your own leadership in the process. We cover the core lever of self-awareness (and one habit to fix now), how to shut down disrespect in real time, why you can’t outwork a bully (but you can out-plan one) and the exact re-engagement script for a checked-out teammate. You’ll leave with a simple framework: document and get allies, decide your path (escalate, transfer, or exit), set an expiration date if you’re stuck and rebuild confidence outside of work. No drama—just scripts, choices and leadership that protects your peace while raising the bar.
