We've all had a terrible boss.

Here's how to not be one too.

Amanda Littman is the co-founder and president of Run for Something, which recruits and supports

young, diverse leaders running for local office.

If you want to run an effective business, you've got to think about how you can build an

inclusive environment or your business is not going to succeed.

Since 2017, they've launched the careers of thousands of millennials and Gen Z candidates, and in the process, changed what leadership looks like in America.

A good leader knows that if your employees are working 100-hour weeks, that's a failure

of the part of the leader, not the employee. She's the author of two books, one of which we're

talking about today, which is when we're in charge, the next generation's guide to leadership, which is out now. We're talking today about leadership, but specifically how Gen Z and Millennials are changing the game for what the future of leadership can look like, both in organizations and across the world. Millennials and Gen Z are going to get more and more diverse. Our business places are going to be more diverse. The teams that we hire,

it is almost hard at this point to hire a non-diverse team, a homogenous team. We get into how to be

a good leader very specifically, as well as how to relate to others, but maintain healthy

professional boundaries. You can be friendly with the people you manage, but they can't be your friends.

Because also, you don't want to fire your friends. As Genzi and millennials are rising up in their careers, you're starting to manage people, and you need to know how to manage people well. We're talking about that today. We are so grateful to have Amanda back on the show, and this is a must listen if you work in any kind of structural work environment or you're part of a team and an extra must listen if you are in any type of leadership role.
