  • When the Nepo Baby is a Bully 6 | 42
    Oct 30 2024
    Handling workplace bullying when family dynamics are involved.We need to talk about nepotism and workplace bullying, because WHEW, does it ever mess with our ability to Care Personally and Challenge Directly! Here's the real deal — when family ties eclipse talent, we're not just hurting individual careers. We're poisoning the well of psychological safety that teams need to thrive. How can you tell someone to "bring their whole self to work" when the rules aren't the same for everyone? KIm, Amy, and Jason explain why avoiding these conversations doesn't help anyone. Whether you're dealing with the CEO's daughter who's actually crushing it, or the founder's cousin who's... not so much, you've got to stay rooted in those two key principles: Care Personally AND Challenge Directly.Get all of the show notes at RadicalCandor.com/podcast.Episode Links:Injustice At Work: 4 Effective Ways To Respond | Radical CandorRight To BeUpstanders Vs.
