Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Has a Change in Management Changed Your Job?
Q: Here's a question we're answering today. I work for an international company in a senior management position. My direct boss worked in another country, but we got along very well. Six months ago, that boss left and was replaced by a very different person.
The hosts acknowledge the challenge of a new boss who micromanages and discuss strategies to manage up, set boundaries, and protect personal time while maintaining performance.
Is Your Mentor at Work Leaving the Company?
Q: I've worked for the same company for eight years, and we've gone through a lot of changes after a corporate buyout. My mentor, who protected and informed me, is leaving. What should I do?
First, try to get a direct line of communication with the mentor to understand what's happening and ask for introductions to potential replacements or other mentors at the company. If there isn't an internal option, ask HR about formal mentorship programs or look outside the company. Begin to network externally, keep your resume updated, and consider working with a career coach or executive coach to gain perspective on the change and your next steps. Also, assess whether the new culture aligns with your goals and whether staying is viable.
Does Your Boss Protect the Wrong People?
Q: What can employees do to cope when their boss won't address a problematic colleague?
Employees should actively manage up by crediting the problematic person to gain favor and access, while also positioning themselves to work with the person more effectively, and considering leaving if the situation becomes untenable.
Does Your Boss Protect the Wrong People?
Q: Does your boss protect the wrong people, and why does that happen?
Bosses protect certain individuals, often due to loyalty, long tenure, or the protected person's ability to generate business, which creates a challenging dynamic for others and nudges employees toward managing up or leaving.
Is Your Job Your Identity?
Q: Is leaving a big, recognizable brand for a smaller company a bad move for identity?
Not necessarily; it can be a step toward growth and opportunity, but the fear and self-doubt are real and common. Building a new network and identifying with a community of smaller, creative firms helps restore a sense of belonging and purpose.
