Watch your Words
"Words have energy and power with the ability to help, to heal, to hinder, to hurt, to harm, to humiliate, and to humble." -Yehuda Berg

People are more apt to listen, learn, and to improve performance when they receive constructive, tactful, and respectful #feedback. Destructive and inconsiderate feedback undermines trust and performance.

Dialogue
"I remain convinced that most human conflicts can be solved through genuine dialogue conducted with a spirit of openness and reconciliation." - Dalai Lama

Bosses who fail to offer immediate performance feedback tend to let issues fester. They can create perceived catastrophe out of minor issues. When they do share their feelings, they are apt to be irrational and emotional. #LeadersArentBullies
Schoolyard vs. Workplace Bullying
Schoolyard bullies fear being ostracized. They target, and enlist others to abuse, peers who trigger the bully's fear of being viewed as different.
Workplace bullies target decent and talented employees whose gifts trigger the bully's fear of being exposed as a fraud.
