The Bad Leadership Podcast is a history-driven show about the worst leadership decisions ever made—and the people who made them.

Each episode examines real moments in history where leaders failed spectacularly: strategic blunders, ethical breakdowns, toxic authority, and ego-driven decisions that led to disaster. These aren’t hindsight-is-20/20 critiques. They’re deep dives into how intelligent, powerful people make catastrophically bad choices when pressure, fear, pride, and incentives collide.

Through storytelling and analysis, the show unpacks bad leadership, failed decision-making, organizational collapse, political miscalculation, and the psychology of power. You’ll hear how armies were lost, companies imploded, movements collapsed, and entire nations paid the price for one leader’s blind spot.

This podcast isn’t about inspirational quotes or leadership hacks. It’s about the consequences of poor leadership, unchecked authority, and leaders who stopped listening.

If you’re fascinated by leadership failures, historical disasters, power dynamics, management mistakes, and the uncomfortable truth that bad leadership is usually obvious—just not to the person in charge—this show is for you.

The Bad Leadership Podcast Because leadership lessons are often written in mistakes, not victories.
