"The target is chosen because they possess some strength or virtue that the bully lacks—most often competence, popularity, or integrity." -  Tim Field "Envy is a factor in most workplace bullying. The bully is terrified that the target’s superior skills will make them look incompetent by comparison." - Dr. Heinz Leymann "The problem isn't that you are doing a bad job; the problem is that you are doing a good job, and your success threatens a fragile ego above or beside you." - Workplace Psychology Proverb #strength #virtue #talent #integrity #success #leadersarentbullies #healthyworkplaces #skills #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #competence #psychologicalsafetyatworkact #confidence

 

"Bullying consists of the least competent most aggressive employee projecting their incompetence on to the least aggressive most competent employee." - Tim Field "Any anti-bullying scheme, initiative or policy which fails to mention accountability for the bullies is likely to meet with little, and often no, success." -  Tim Field "If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor." - Desmond Tutu #competence #confidence #accountability #team #leadersarentbullies #healthyworkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #SpeakUp #psychologicalsafetyatworkact #justice  Healthy environments and strong leaders establish anti-bullying policies to protect workers. They take reports of maltreatment seriously and address & correct demeaning behaviors. Bad companies allow bullying to fester.  They state the behavior is not illegal.
