In September 2023 Tina Boden, the Work-Life Blend Coach, launched her podcast ‘Don’t work with Tossers’. And whilst the title is pretty self-explanatory, and is a great guide for business, Tina chats to guests as they share business tips and life lessons to help you reduce, even rid yourself, of the Tossers that you have or come across in your work and personal life.

Tina previously interviewed me on her ‘Your business and You Chat Show’ and one of the key points that we discussed was the concept of the ‘brilliant jerk’, which I have previously covered in depth here.

In this episode we covered 10 tips for identifying a Brilliant Jerk and chatted about how both brilliant jerks and Tossers can have a negative impact on workplace culture and the importance of ‘grasping the nettle’ and taking action to deal with a brilliant jerk to help a business, the business owner and the people that work in that business. We also discussed how we often look at someone’s CV rather than the personality of an individual, a process that does not always see the best person being recruited for the job.

What Next?

I’m a ‘Business Sounding Board‘ and if you are a Business Owner and you’d like to discuss how I could help you on your business journey, and avoid you being ‘lonely at the top’ then please give me a call, drop me an email or connect with me on LinkedIn.

I’ll be happy to have chat with you to explore how I may be able to help you. I’ll be honest and I may not be able to help you myself and in that scenario I’ll try and point you in the right direction. However, if I’m not right for you, you might find one of the other Leeds Business Coaches is better for you.

Still unsure if I can help you? Take a look at What you’ll get from me and what my clients say about me.
