So for me, you know, while I was working with Microsoft, I was working in a culture like that where, you know, I saw upfront the fact that someone toxic was hurting the culture.

I remember that I went into my boss's, literally his office one day.

He had white walls.

He was sitting in front of his desk on a Windows computer.

And literally he turns to me as I walk in, I sit on a brown chair.

And he's looking at me with a brown shirt and black glasses.

And I look at him straight in his face and I tell him, look, I'm not happy here.

I don't feel like you're doing enough to grow me.

And although I was killing it, my teammates loved me.

I was good for the culture.

I just didn't feel as if I was being developed.

And he looks me dead in my eyes and he says, it's not my job to grow you.

It's not my job to coach you and all of that.

And then that's when I realized, great manager, but awful leader.

Right.

He's a great at delegating work, getting work done, making sure milestones are met.

But he's not a leader.

And for me, I felt this might deserve better because I was a leader.

Right.

And I and I carried myself in high stature.
