Book Description
The workplace is broken—and managers are the problem. Through coaching hundreds of frustrated employees, Tanya Uyigue has identified the toxic management patterns driving people to quit. Employees are exhausted by leaders who micromanage their every move, disappear for months without check-ins, or create environments where speaking up feels dangerous.
The truth is, your team isn’t telling you what’s actually wrong because they’re afraid of being retaliated against, dismissed, or labeled as “difficult.” But their silence is costing you talent, productivity, and profitability.
What Your Team Won’t Tell You exposes the seven destructive manager archetypes that poison workplace culture, and each chapter provides specific, actionable strategies to transform these toxic patterns into leadership strengths. When you create an environment where employees feel heard, valued, and empowered, retention soars, productivity increases, and engagement becomes authentic—not forced.Editorial Reviews
Review
—Maura Mitchell, Managing Director of Entrepreneurial Services, Women’s Business Development Center
“Tanya Uyigue delivers a courageous and deeply necessary message. Many employees feel unheard and unseen, and this book exposes the leadership patterns that quietly erode trust. This is a compelling guide for leaders who truly want to listen, grow, and create environments where people feel valued, respected, and empowered to thrive.”
“In today’s workforce, engagement is earned. Tanya doesn’t just show leaders what to avoid—she shares practical strategies on how to build teams that are grounded in authenticity, respect, and trust.”
“Tanya's book is a gift that affords leaders an opportunity to proactively and authentically apply principles from her keen and grounded insights. Here are the keys to building trust for flourishing workplaces.”
“True leadership isn’t a fixed set of principles universally applied—it’s a personal, individual approach with each person we have the privilege of leading. When we change the focus from ‘how I lead’ to ‘what they need,’ we build space and support for everyone to become the best version of their professional selves that they can.”
