“The right to think is the foundation of freedom, and speech must be safeguarded from government intervention because speech is the genesis of thought.”— Anthony M. Kennedy “Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.”—Harry Truman #maliciousprosecution #TortiousInterference #leadersarentbullies #HealthyWorkplaces #SpeakUp #BeTransparent #metoo #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #psychologicalsafetyatworkact

"Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance, order, rhythm and harmony." - Thomas Merton #leadersarentbullies #HealthyWorkplaces #BeTransparent   #SpeakUp #MentalHealth #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct   #psychologicalsafetyatworkact Leaders who achieve bottom line results balance with respectful, compliant, and #transparent enterprises are rare. If you are so blessed, propose using healthy results, processes, and relationships as competencies used to select and assess all managers, to build a thriving culture.

"If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, then you are a leader.” —John Quincy Adams "We cannot build our own future without helping others to build theirs." - Bill Clinton “The advancement and diffusion of knowledge is the only guardian of true liberty.” – James Madison "All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent." - Edmund Burke #leadersarentbullies

"Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower." - Steve Jobs "The biggest part of leadership is that you lead by example with your performance first and foremost." - Jude Bellingham "A basic tenet of a healthy democracy is open dialogue and transparency." - Peter Fenn #leadersarentbullies #HealthyWorkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #psychologicalsafetyatworkact

"We are the United States of Amnesia,  encouraged by a media with no desire to tell us the truth about anything, serving corporate masters who have other plans to dominate us." - Gore Vidal "I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial by strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country." - Thomas Jefferson #maliciousprosecution #TortiousInterference #leadersarentbullies #HealthyWorkplaces #BeTransparent #SpeakUp   #psychologicalsafetyatworkact

“Emotional detachment is a simple and effective way to maintain your poise in a stressful environment and around taxing people.” -  Remez Sasson #leadersarentbullies #HealthyWorkplaces #mentalhealth #InnerPeace #BeTransparent #psychologicalsafetyatworkact #SpeakUp #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct Presenteeism also describes bullied workers who cannot find another job elsewhere with equivalent pay. So, they stay, show up daily, but they are present only in body and not in spirit or mind. They are the antithesis of an “engaged” worker.
