Petty Branding: What It Is and How It Impacts Your Leadership

Have you ever had to deal with a petty leader in your organization? I’ve discussed brand boosters and bruisers on the show before, and pettiness definitely falls into the bruiser category. However, reflecting on an encounter I had years ago has inspired me to branch off the topic of petty branding into a three-part mini-pod series to help you build a stronger, more impactful brand.

In this first episode of the series on the Branding Room Only podcast, you’ll hear how the word ‘petty’ is officially defined and learn the acronym I created for it. I’ll also give a brief introduction to my story of dealing with a petty leader and reveal a few ways in which pettiness as part of your brand impacts your leadership and organization.

00:21 - How Webster and The Urban Dictionary define petty and my acronym for it

2:18 - Brief introduction to my story dealing with a petty successor to a visionary leader

5:27 - Examples of the consequences of being petty in your branding
