🎙️ Greed is Good? Why Positional Power Triggers Us

Ever felt like just a number to a boss or authority figure? In this episode, we’re breaking down one of the most frustrating emotional triggers—positional power misuse. From the micro-managers to the mini-monarchs who let their title define them, we dive into why these dynamics drive us crazy and how they impact our emotions and productivity.

Joined by my co-host, Miguel, we explore how low emotional intelligence contributes to power misuse, why respect matters more than rank, and how you can stay grounded even when someone’s power trip threatens to drag you down.

We’ll also share hard-hitting stats about leadership and EQ, real-life stories, and actionable tips to navigate these dynamics without losing your cool.

💡 It’s time to flip “Greed is Good” on its head and get greedy for emotional intelligence.
