"The exposure and punishment of public corruption is an honor to a nation, not a disgrace." — Theodore Roosevelt "The fight for justice against corruption is never easy. It never has been and never will be... In the end, I believe, as in my case, the price we pay is well worth holding on to our dignity." — Frank Serpico "You'll never find justice in a world where criminals make the rules." — Bob Marley #honor #justice #dignity #EndCorruption #leadersarentbullies #HealthyWorkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #truth #psychologicalsafetyatworkact #SpeakUp

"Bullies may be the perpetrators of evil, but it is the evil of passivity of all those who know what is happening and never intervene that perpetuates such abuse." - Philip Zimbardo #intervene #protect #stopabuse #love #speakup #takeaction #truthtopower #bulliesarentleaders #HealthyWorkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #safety #psychologicalsafetyatworkact #justice  About 80% of the US employees polled report being aware of workplace bullying. They were bullied or witnessed another employee being bullied.  Research shows workplace bullying bystanders intervene in only less than 20% of the cases.

"Dignity does not consist in possessing honors, but in deserving them." — Aristotle "The most practical kind of politics is the politics of decency." — Theodore Roosevelt "When the norm is decency, other virtues can thrive: integrity, honesty, compassion, kindness, and trust." — Raja #dignity #respect #decency #kindness #good #leadersarentbullies #HealthyWorkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #kindness #psychologicalsafetyatworkact #consideration

"Federal Judges Make Tidy Profit Ruling In Favor Of Companies They Own." - WSJ "When there is money involved, it is human nature to protect your own interests... Judges should be above reproach." - John Schneider A federal judge accused two judges of the "most outrageous conduct" he had ever seen in 37 years, warning that failing to act against them would set a "horrendous precedent that 'might makes right' and the end justifies the means". #truth #justice #integrity #Transparency #whistleblower #leadersarentbullies #FairTrial  #HealthyWorkplaces #freedom #rights #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #speech #psychologicalsafetyatworkact #democracy

This is a statue of Senator John Chafee (R-RI), in Bristol, RI at beautiful Narragansett Bayside Colt State Park, land he secured for all to enjoy.  He prioritized collective citizen well being over the partisanship he found selfish & destructive. https://share.google/xFNnqIGK2XRrW5T9t #liberate #inspire #collaborate #Unity #leadersarentbullies #HealthyWorkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #freedom #psychologicalsafetyatworkact #democracy  Bullying does not liberate or inspire. Great leaders do both. They encourage, motivate and value their workers / constituents.  They collaborate and seek win/win outcomes for all.

"America is a melting pot. Our diversity is our strength." - Ralph Northam "The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team." - Phil Jackson "I am a member of a team (society), and I rely on the team, I defer to it and sacrifice for it, because the team, not the individual, is the ultimate champion." - Mia Hamm #Diversity #strength #teamwork #sacrifice #leadersarentbullies #HealthyWorkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #Reliance #psychologicalsafetyatworkact #champions
