Image
"A toxic leader will use fear tactics and impossible expectations in order to control those around them." - Anonymous "True power comes not from control or domination, but from the ability to inspire, uplift, and empower those around you." - E.L.C.  #power #inspire #uplift #empower #freedom #leadersarentbullies #HealthyWorkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #healthy #psycholigicalsafetyatworkact #removebarriers Bullying flourishes in organizations where short term success metrics take precedent over long term values like treating each other with dignity, respect, and decency. Short term goals used to bully can include sales, costs, reports, frivolous projects, and crazy expectations.

Accountability and Consequence

Image
"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

Individual Liberties and Justice

"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

Soothe the Savages

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.
