Crews can handle tough jobs, bad weather, tight deadlines, but they won’t tolerate a boss who acts like he’s above the rules he pushes on everyone else.

Good leaders keep it real: they own their mistakes, put the team first, and stay consistent no matter who’s watching.

Do that, and people will run through walls for you.

Blow it with hypocrisy, blame-shifting, or manipulation, and you’ll watch your best guys walk out the door—or worse, stay and just punch the clock until something better comes along.

Ria and Mack Story share how dealing with a boss you can't stand boils down to three core options:

1. Quit and Find a New Job and a New Boss: How you quit reveals A LOT about your character. Will you shine or whine?
2. Stay and Be Proactive: addressing issues head-on through open communication and personal development as you rise above the friction.
3. Stay and Be Reactive: moaning, groaning, and whining without building any trust or increasing your influence.

Proactive choices often earn respect, maintain relationships, and open doors, while reactive choices create friction, rupture relationships, and decrease your influence.
