Episode 5: The Bottleneck Boss

This episode spotlights a boss who brought in a highly-qualified new manager only to undermine her at every turn. Despite her competence and the team's steady progress, he inserted himself into projects unnecessarily, caused delays, and ultimately claimed credit for work she and her team completed. We break down the insecurity-fueled sabotage, the leadership damage it caused, and ask: Was this coachable… or just plain toxic?
