Your Boss Isn’t a Leader — and It’s Hurting Your Career
Waiting for a weak leader to suddenly become strong is a career death sentence.
And handing over your future to someone threatened by your potential? That’s not loyalty. That’s self-sabotage.
In this episode of Totally Unacceptable, Ed Clementi calls out the silent epidemic of non-leaders in leadership roles — and the damage they cause to careers, teams, and company culture.
This one’s not just a vent session. It’s a blueprint.
You’ll learn:
How to recognize when your boss isn’t actually leading
Why staying silent and “waiting it out” is the real risk
What to do when your growth is being stifled
How to build trust and visibility anyway
And the parable of the elephant and the rope — and how it applies to you
If you’ve ever felt stuck, overlooked, or underestimated by someone who was supposed to have your back — this is the episode you didn’t know you needed.
🎧 Don’t give your power to the wrong person. Reclaim your voice. Multiply your value.
