Why good people become bad bosses | Jamie Woolf and Christopher Bell

The TED Business podcast episode features Modupe Akinola introducing leadership experts Jamie Woolf and Christopher Bell, who discuss the concept of "power blindness" and how it can lead to becoming a bad boss. They share personal anecdotes of when they were negatively impacted by bad bosses and times when they themselves exhibited poor leadership qualities. Woolf and Bell offer advice on self-reflection, including asking oneself about the "armor" one wears, what people might be afraid to tell them, and what they will do differently to avoid power blindness. Akinola concludes by suggesting sharing these reflections with a trusted accountability partner to ensure genuine change and growth.
