43: Fixing the Problem, Losing the Person
Yesterday00:33:23Tap to summarizeIn this episode of Bad Boss Confessional, Beth Fahey sits down with Raina Fryer, head of talent strategy at Titus Talent Strategies. Raina's confession takes her back to a training room early in her career, where she was young, eager to prove herself, and co-facilitating alongside someone she was supposed to be developing. Every time her teammate made a misstep, she stepped in. Mid-sentence, in front of the room, again and again. She told herself it was about safety. Looking back, she knows it was also about ego. Two months later, her teammate quietly asked for a new manager. That was the moment that stuck. Her lesson is simple and hard-earned: the points that actually count are the ones that make people feel safe enough to trust you.

42: What Got You Here Won't Get You There
1w ago00:41:15Tap to summarizeIn this episode of Bad Boss Confessional, Beth Fahey sits down with Ben Stern, EOS implementer and former integrator who helped scale a transmission remanufacturing company from 300 employees and $40 million in revenue to 850 people and $190 million. Ben's confession starts long before that chapter, back on a construction crew where being the hardest worker in the room felt like a leadership strategy. The conversation explores what happens when intensity without emotional intelligence becomes the culture, why the habits that make someone a standout performer can quietly poison a team, and what it actually took to close the gap. Ben reflects on nearly two decades of deliberate work, the people who helped him see what he couldn't see himself, and why learning Spanish to connect with his team is one of the things he's most proud of. His lesson is one every high performer eventually has to face: what got you here won't get you there.

41: The Feedback Nobody Should Have Given
2w ago00:41:14Tap to summarizeIn this episode of Bad Boss Confessional, Beth Fahey sits down with Jeanet Wade, Expert EOS Implementer, ForbesBooks author of The Human Team, and one of the top 100 innovators and entrepreneurs in her region. Jeanet comes with two confessions, and they both involve the same person. The conversation explores what happens when dysfunction travels downhill, why secondhand feedback is its own kind of leadership failure, and what it looks like to stop the madness in real time and just tell the truth. Her lesson cuts through the noise: when the feedback doesn't feel right, it probably isn't.

40: What Gets Lost When You Move Too Fast
3w ago00:34:45Tap to summarizeIn this episode of Bad Boss Confessional, Beth Fahey sits down with Larry Garcia, co-founder and president of Strety, a software platform built for EOS-run businesses. Larry shares what happened when he stepped into a VP of Sales role against his better instincts and decided his first move would be cutting what looked like an inefficient meeting. He walked into a struggling company, saw an hour of rah-rah he thought nobody needed, and deleted it. What he didn't see was how much that hour was holding the team together. The conversation digs into what happens when a new leader moves before they've earned the right to change things, why culture is the first casualty of efficiency thinking, and how fast trust can disappear with a single calendar invite. Timestamps 00:00 Introduction to Larry Garcia 02:22 Larry’s Career Journey 05:22 The Big Confession 11:40 Impact of New Leadership on Culture 16:30 BreakGage to Strety Transition 20:01 Family Legacy and American Dream 24:51 Culture and Software Development 29:52 The Soul of Software About: Beth Fahey is a leadership coach, Expert EOS Implementer, and co-creator of the How to Be a Great Boss Workshops.

39: You Can't Want It More Than They Do
4w ago00:36:50Tap to summarizeIn this episode of Bad Boss Confessional, Beth Fahey sits down with Mary Reilly-Magee, an entrepreneur, Expert EOS Implementer, and author who built a three-location swim school before exiting in 2018. Mary came prepared with a confession she has carried for years, and it starts with a sign on her wall: never try to teach a pig to sing. She walks through what it really means to believe in someone more than they believe in themselves, the bookkeeper she held onto long after the writing was on the wall, and the two clients she eventually had to walk away from. The conversation gets honest about why avoiding a hard conversation always makes things worse, and what it actually looks like to lead with clarity instead of hope. Her lesson is one every leader eventually learns the hard way: you cannot want it more than they do. Timestamps 00:00 Introduction & Sponsor Shoutouts 02:11 Meet Mary Reilly-Magee 05:14 The Pig-Singing Dilemma 08:42 Visionary’s Dilemma & People Development 12:14 The Importance of GWC 16:47 Addressing People Issues & Self-Forgiveness 21:02 Not Your Business: The Implementer’s Perspective 23:17 The Cost of Avoiding Difficult Conversations 27:37 The Impact of Courageous Leadership 30:03 Parenting & Personal Tattoos 35:28 Conclusion & Book Promotion About: Beth Fahey is a leadership coach, Expert EOS Implementer, and co-creator of the How to Be a Great Boss Workshops.

38: Every Coach Has to Learn to Lead
Apr 1500:41:58Tap to summarizeIn this episode of Bad Boss Confessional, Beth Fahey sits down with Josh Hauser, certified EOS implementer, entrepreneur, and father of eight. Josh shares what happened when a rate crisis hit his growing insurance practice and exposed a gap he hadn't seen coming: he knew how to teach and coach, but he had never learned how to lead and manage. The conversation explores what it looks like when a leader's default mode stops serving the people around them, why victim thinking spreads fast inside an organization, and what it actually takes to close the gap between knowing something and living it. His lesson is one that cuts across business and life: the easy path creates complexity. The hard work is what makes things simple.

37: When Growth Gets Ahead of Connection
Apr 800:35:30Tap to summarizeIn this episode of Bad Boss Confessional, Beth sits down with Jule Salem, founder and managing director of Salem Solutions and host of the podcast Dialing In. Jule shares what happened during a season of overlapping transitions: a new leader joining the team, an office move, a family health challenge, and a business acquisition all arriving at once. On paper, it was shaping up to be the best year Salem Solutions had ever seen. But underneath the numbers, something was slipping. The conversation explores what disconnection actually looks like, why leaders who care deeply about people can still lose the thread, and why it's important to remember that a company's culture does not stay connected on its own; someone has to keep tending to it. Timestamps 00:00 Introduction to Bad Boss Confessional 03:06 Jule Salem’s Business 07:09 The Bad Boss Confession: Disconnection 14:14 Fostering Connection at Scale 21:18 Navigating Boundaries: Peer to Manager 28:54 The Importance of Sustaining Connection About: Beth Fahey is a leadership coach, Expert EOS Implementer, and co-creator of the How to Be a Great Boss Workshops.

36: The Culture You Create When You're Not Looking
Apr 100:31:14Tap to summarizeIn this episode of Bad Boss Confessional, Beth Fahey sits down with Rocco Cozza, a business attorney, TEDx speaker, and founder of Cozza Law Group, a multi-seven-figure firm he built from the ground up in Pittsburgh. Rocco shares what happened when rapid growth pulled his focus inward and someone close to him began quietly reshaping the culture he had worked hard to build. The conversation explores what it costs a leader to keep their head down, why intuition matters even when the numbers look great, and how a single honest conversation from a trusted team member can crack everything open. Rocco reflects on the moment he looked up and barely recognized what his firm had become, and what it took to earn back not just trust, but confidence in his own judgment. His lesson is one every growing leader needs to hear: execution without presence is not leadership. The culture does not take care of itself.

35: When Your Team Tells You The Truth
Mar 2500:31:24Tap to summarizeIn this episode of Bad Boss Confessional, Beth Fahey sits down with Shea Peffly, a former CEO and integrator who now guides other leaders through EOS as a certified implementer. Shea shares the moment a Vistage exercise forced her to sit in silence while her own team told her the direct truth: that her constant questions and close involvement weren't landing as support; they were landing as distrust. The conversation explores what happens when a leader's intentions and their impact are completely out of sync, why asking how someone needs your help matters just as much as offering it, and how the gap between knowing good leadership practices and actually living them can quietly widen over time. Shea reflects on what it took to move from command-and-control instincts to a style of leadership built on genuine curiosity and relationship. Her lesson is both humbling and hopeful: the feedback that hurts the most is often the feedback that changes everything. Timestamps 00:00 Unfiltered Feedback and Podcast Intro 04:03 Shea’s Background and Business 07:39 The Vistage Feedback Experience 14:03 Processing and Acting on Feedback 22:54 Redefining Leadership and Impact 28:30 Leading with Love and Final Thoughts About: Beth Fahey is a leadership coach, Expert EOS Implementer, and co-creator of the How to Be a Great Boss Workshops.

34: When a Star Player Stops Being a Teammate
Mar 1800:55:49Tap to summarizeIn this episode of Bad Boss Confessional, Beth Fahey talks with David Kolbe, CEO of Kolbe Corp and co-developer of the Kolbe A™ Index, about the complicated decisions leaders face when values, performance, and people collide. David shares lessons from running a values-driven company and the leadership mistakes that taught him the most along the way. The conversation explores what happens when high performers fall out of alignment with company culture, why leadership communication matters just as much as the decisions themselves, and how easily trust can erode when the narrative isn’t clear. David also explains the idea of conative strengths and why understanding how people naturally take action can dramatically improve teamwork and leadership.
