The Shitty Leadership Series

Welcome to The Bullshit-Free Leadership Hub

We're still ShittyLeaders.ca, but we figured some of you needed a classier way to call out dumpster fire leadership.

Click “MORE” above to access a gloriously unsolicited stash of free articles—ideal for anyone stumbling toward real leadership or just trying not to lose it in their 17th meeting of the week.

We’ve sorted the chaos into five brutally honest categories, these make me smile every time. 

  1. Leadership for People Who Somehow Got Promoted

  2. Ego Management for the Emotionally Constipated

  3. Workplace Bullshit We Pretend is Normal 

  4. Feeling You Buried Under Productivity

  5. Accountability Theatre: Now With More Gaslighting

Then, when you’re done cringing at all the stuff that hits a little too close to home—head over to “The Shit We Fix” page. It’s a one-stop reality check of everything we do to unshittify your leadership, team, and business.

Consider us your accountability partner with teeth.

The Book 4 Reviews Are In

Here's what's being said about book 4 - and from people I haven't met or paid!
"The ugly truth he is here to deliver — that you, dear reader, may be desperately in need of unshittification — is softened by a conversational and unfiltered writing style."
"I am now actively seeking opportunities to admit when I am wrong. (Hint: It’s not the end of the world!)"

"The author borrows wisdom from a variety of sources — Socrates, Janis Joplin, Thoreau, Brené Brown, Carl Jung, and Snooki — to create a slightly unhinged mix with lots of character."

"It was a surprising takeaway that my innate desire to correct others — 'always having to be right,' as my spouse calls it — was actually a sign of my own ego."

Why We Exist

Ever had a boss who incited you to question your career, your sanity, or your life choices? Congratulations, you’ve experienced shitty leadership firsthand. Maybe you are that boss. Either way, we’re here to unmask, unpack, and unlearn everything that makes leaders suck.
This is The Bullshit-Free Leadership Hub—where we call out toxic management, ego-driven disasters, and clueless executives who think "employee engagement" means a mandatory pizza party. If you've been waiting for someone to say the quiet part out loud, welcome home.

Welcome to the Buffet of Brutal Truths & Free Nuggets of Wisdom

Feel free to browse our menu—you’ll find plenty of bite-sized nuggets for learning, reflecting, and, if you have a functioning sense of humour, a chuckle or two.  

DISCLAIMER (Because Some of You Will Need It):

If you somehow manage to miss the very obvious dry wit and sarcasm woven into my words, let me clarify—this all comes from a place of deep (and sometimes exasperated) love for making shitty leaders less shitty. If you choose to be offended, well… that sounds like a YOU problem!  

The ones who get pissed off instead of laughing are usually the ones who need this the most—just saying. If you feel personally attacked, maybe take a second to ask yourself why are you choosing this?  Or don’t.  Stay in your delusions. Your call.

Now, enjoy the content—or don’t. Either way, I’ll still be over here helping those who actually want to suck less at leadership. 😘

The Legal Shit

Let’s get one thing straight: nothing you read on this site—be it a sarcastic truth bomb, leadership rant, or heartfelt “get-your-shit-together” pep talk—should be mistaken for legal, psychological, financial, or professional advice. It’s not. It’s content. Free content. You’re a grown-up (we assume), and what you choose to do with what you read here is entirely up to you.

If you read something and it inspires a life change, a resignation letter, a confrontation with your boss, or an emotional meltdown in your minivan—cool. But that’s on you, not us.

NSL Consulting & Coaching Solutions Inc., its affiliates, contributors, and especially the person writing this (hi, Mark), accept zero responsibility for any actions taken—or not taken—based on anything published here. Read at your own risk. Apply at your own discretion. Blame yourself accordingly.
