"Not holding people accountable doesn't help the perp,—it makes you complicit." -  Dr. Thema Bryant "Let's stop questioning victims and start holding perpetrators accountable." - UFS "In the face of accountability, victim blaming and the culture of silence are shattered. Accountability not only functions by holding perpetrators to account, it also helps establish justice for victims and deter future crimes." - Judith Herman #accountability #justice #Deterrence #safety #leadersarentbullies #HealthyWorkplaces  #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #speakout #psycholigicalsafetyatworkact #discovery

"A corporation is an artificial being, invisible, intangible, and existing only in contemplation of law. Yet executives often use it as a very real fortress to wage war on individuals, shielding themselves with limited liability while wielding unlimited legal resources." - Ralph Nader If Toray "executives abused this privilege by using the business to commit fraud, evade legal obligations, or engage in misconduct, the courts can 'pierce the corporate veil' and hold them personally responsible." — Freiberger Haber LLP #justice #law #liability #Misconduct #responsible #leadersarentbullies #HealthyWorkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #truth #psycholigicalsafetyatworkact #liberty

Successful Leaders Aren't Bullies https://share.google/UVJzTRIykoD3qtaUg   "hath charms to soothe a savage breast." - William Congreve  (and an organization / a workplace / a boss / a partner / yourself / a team)    "What are we? Humans? Or animals? Or savages?" -William Golding When a person behaves in a certain way, either positive or negative, it is because they are willing, able, and allowed. People change behaviors for two reasons: to experience pleasure, and to avoid pain. Bullies create environments where people keep secrets to avoid pain.

"A lot of people say Americans are fake and I just don't think that's true. I think Americans are just really nice and friendly" – Marina De Buchi, British content creator "People are starting to understand how amazing America truly is, rather than just listening to the media and what other people have told them" – On the scale of stadiums and American patriotism. #real #nice #friendly #safe #amazing #Patriotism #leadersarentbullies #HealthyWorkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #decency #psycholigicalsafetyatworkact #narrative #usa

Happy Father's Day! "Bullying consists of the least competent most aggressive employee projecting their incompetence on to the least aggressive most competent employee and winning." — Tim Field "If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse, and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality." — De@smond Tutu "Bullies are cruel and possibly irretrievable, but their anger and bullying behavior is often a displacement of their own lack of self-esteem and self-confidence." — Keith Sullivan, Mark Cleary, and Ginny Sullivan "Bullying is not just about physical violence, it's also about psychological violence - the kind of violence that leaves scars on the soul." — Julia Gillard "One's dignity may be assaulted, vandalized and cruelly mocked, but it can never be taken away unless it is surrendered." — Michael J.
