"If you see harassment happening, speak up. Being harassed is terrible; having bystanders pretend they don't notice is infinitely worse." - Celeste Ng "Intimidation, harassment, (bullying), and violence have no place in a democracy." - Mo Ibrahim #HealthyWorkplaces #SpeakUp #metoo #BeTransparent #Decency #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct   #psychologicalsafetyatworkact Even today, workplace bullying is still somewhat a taboo subject. It’s akin to how bullying among children at school and bullying in the form of sexual harassment of working women was perceived before 1970. #LeadersArentBullies
