Over Bad Days Leadership

Bad Days Leadership is a podcast where bad days make better leaders. Hosted by Dr. Matt Paden, President and Managing Partner at Great Days Leadership, each episode explores the moments we’d rather forget, the cringe-worthy decisions, awkward conversations and leadership missteps that taught us the most. In a relaxed conversation, guests share stories from their own leadership journey like: A decision they still wince at A boss behavior they vowed never to repeat A “bad leader alert” phrase or action they’ll never forget These honest, often humorous reflections reveal powerful lessons about growth, humility and resilience. Each guest leaves listeners with one piece of practical advice, something they wish they’d known ten years ago. The show is conversational and authentic, designed to remind us that even our worst days can make us better leaders.

Episode 5 - "A Boss Banned Talking and Replaced It With Red Solo Cups. It Got Worse." w/Amanda Box

Amanda Box — founder of Box Communications, communication evangelist, and the "Unleasher of the Awesome" — joins Dr. Matt Paden on the Bad Days Leadership podcast. Amanda shares the jaw-dropping story of a coach who opened the season by handing out "100 Ways to Have a Losing Season," a boss who banned talking in a call center and replaced it with red solo cups on filing cabinets (productivity dropped by a LOT), and the client relationship that stressed her into cold sores because she couldn't figure out why nothing she delivered was good enough. She breaks down why defensiveness is the red flag she spots fastest in leaders, how a simple pocket phrase can save you from blowing up a conversation, and why failure is just information — not identity. Plus, the retirement story about Joe that proves your leadership brand is the stories other people tell about you.

Episode 4 - "I Spent Years Repeating The Same Mistake Because I Wouldn't Accept The Data Right In Front Of Me" w/Will Acuff

Will Acuff — social entrepreneur, author of No Elevator to Everest, and co-founder of Corner to Corner — joins Dr. Matt Paden on the Bad Days Leadership podcast. Will gets honest about moving into a low-income Nashville neighborhood with a million wrong ideas about poverty, spending years repeating the same mistake because he refused to accept the data right in front of him, and how his passion kept showing up as impatience and anger early in his career. He breaks down why overconfidence gets confused for great leadership, why unteachable people won't last on his team, and the blank sheet of paper exercise he recommends for processing failure without letting emotion drive your next decision. Plus — why tying your self-worth to your outcomes puts you on the world's worst roller coaster, and why he refuses to believe the lie that life just has to suck.

Episode 3 - "I Walked In Like A Superhero And Forgot To Honor Who Came Before Me" w/Dr. Darwin Mason, Jr.

Dr. Darwin Mason Jr. — educator, minister, consultant, and community leader — joins Dr. Matt Paden on the Bad Days Leadership podcast. Darwin opens up about walking into a turnaround school with a superhero complex, only to learn the staff was still grieving the leader he replaced. He shares how a bad hire derailed two and a half years of progress because he wasn't courageous enough to have the hard conversation soon enough, why loving the idea of leadership without loving the people is a recipe for disconnection, and how leading 700 kids also meant leading every parent and stakeholder attached to the building. From kindergarten bags that couldn't be changed to body language red flags he watches for in every room, Darwin brings real talk on humility, trust, and why failure isn't the end of the road — it's part of the process.

Episode 1 - "I Had To Send My Team Flowers Because Of What I Did To Them" w/Dr. Kathy Crockett

Dr. Kathy Crockett — executive coach, keynote speaker, founder of the Kathy Crockett Company, and facilitator of the Lead Well leadership groups — joins Dr. Matt Paden on the first episode of the Bad Days Leadership podcast. Kathy gets honest about steamrolling two teams with an "amazing idea" she pushed through without thinking about the ripple effects, walking into rooms completely blind to the political dynamics everyone else could see, and the gut-wrenching decision to end a program she helped build from scratch. She breaks down why grit has a shadow side, how servant leadership gets twisted into a badge of burnout, and why the jump from doing the work to leading the people doing the work is bigger than anyone prepares you for. Plus — what happened when she finally asked her daughter about the year she felt like a failure as a mom.
