Surviving the 5 Toxic Boss Archetypes: How PMs Stay Strategic (Even When Your Boss Isn’t)

When: Tuesday, Nov. 18th at 3:30-4:30 PM Mountain time.

Where: Online - reserve your spot on the calendar

Overview

Every product manager eventually works for one — the boss who derails priorities, steals credit, or disappears when things get hard.
They might be the Power Collector who turns collaboration into competition, the Authoritarian who demands control, or the Absentee who leaves you flying solo.

No matter which type you’ve got, one truth remains: you can’t control their behavior — but you can control your response.

In this 60-minute session, executive coach Julie Young and strategic product leader David Wang break down the five most common toxic boss archetypes PMs encounter — and how to navigate each without burning out or losing influence.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Spot the early signals of each toxic archetype (before it derails your roadmap)

  • Use the DETECT Framework to stay calm, credible, and strategic in any power dynamic

  • Rebuild visibility and influence when your boss takes credit or undermines you

  • Create air cover and allies that keep your product — and your career — moving forward

This session is practical, empathetic, and real — packed with frameworks and scripts you can use right away.

Who It’s For

Product Managers, Product Leaders, and cross-functional partners who:

  • Struggle with inconsistent or controlling leadership

  • Feel stuck managing up instead of managing the product

  • Want to lead confidently in any environment
