Reporting to Incompetence

Why do bad bosses happen to good people?

Whether you're a weary employee just trying to make it through another day or a budding leader determined not to repeat the mistakes of your predecessors, this book is for you. It's also for anyone who's ever wondered why bad bosses happen to good people-and what we can do about it. Spoiler alert: a lot more than you think.

Let me be clear: this book isn't about throwing shade at bad managers-okay, maybe just a little. It's really about understanding why these situations happen, how to deal with them, and how to thrive in spite of them. Because let's face it, most of us can't just march into HR, demand a new boss, and walk out with a promotion. That's not how things work. But we can learn to navigate the chaos, preserve our sanity, and maybe even turn the whole thing to our advantage.

The five short and eminently readable chapters include:

- Unpacking the Peter Principle
- Surviving the Chaos
- Navigating Office Politics
- Thriving Despite Leadership Failures
- Planning Your Escape or Leading from Your Position - You Decide
