Description

Ever slammed your laptop shut after back-to-back meetings and muttered, “People are the worst”? You’re not alone, and you’re in the right place. Hosted by leadership experts, Lindsey Nehls and Lucy Georgiades, co-founders of Elevate Leadership, People Are the Worst tackles the real people problems that keep managers up at night. From toxic feedback loops and cross-functional friction to change fatigue and impossible-to-coach team members, we bring you smart, practical strategies you can actually use. Each week, we blend humor, hard-earned insights, and actionable tools to help you influence without authority, manage through chaos, deliver tough feedback without breaking trust, lead up, down, and across without losing your mind, and so much more. If you’re navigating the drama and emotional labor of modern leadership, this show will help you do it with clarity, courage, and maybe a little caffeine.
