Listen "Career Capped By Control"
Episode Synopsis
After a long career in government service, one employee finally landed a temporary role they loved thanks to a supervisor who unknowingly bypassed a gatekeeping process. They excelled, earned praise, and was invited to extend. When the regular supervisor was asked for approval, the answer was a firm 'no'. And the next time around, the employee wasn’t even permitted to apply for a position they had enjoyed and excelled in.Nearing retirement, they suspected they were being boxed in and pushed out, just for thriving in a different role. An EEO claim followed, but even that process felt like a dead end. In this episode, we dig into how great performance can become a threat and what it costs when leaders fear letting people grow.#BadBossFiles #LessonsFromTheWorst #BadBossFilesPodcast #PulseHRSolutions #LowMorale
