Inspiring female employee embarrasses 'tall and loud' male boss by calling him out during team meeting: 'My coworker told our boss, "You're not intimidating"'

Having that one coworker who inspires you can transform a workplace. Some people just glow. They bring a bright light to everywhere they go. And in the workplace, this kind of person can transform a team (or maybe just inspire a person or two). 

A lot of the time, this person doesn't even know the impact they're having. But even having a singular worker who starts saying "Why do we do it this way?" or "Wait, who's in charge of this project and why aren't they doing it?" or finding other ways to speak truth to power can really shift the whole workplace vibe. 

We don't always get the opportunity to thank the people who inspire us, but this person shared the story of what happened when a coworker stood up to the boss in a calm, cool, collected manner. Because of her choice of words, and her decision to speak up at all, she just made it so much easier for everyone else to chime in when they're feeling intimidated, too.
