Bullying in organizations may be tolerated and condoned because it's viewed as the accepted “way he / she gets things done," or it's the way "things have always been done.”  Inhumane behavior can not be grandfathered.  Demand change!

Protect the Nest

 "A leader creates a positive, high-performance work culture by setting the right tone and acting on it. Day-to-day execution - the tenor and tone - makes all the difference. One deviation - one exasperating meeting - and the CEO legitimizes bad behavior." - Ron Williams

#stepup

How an organization responds to bullying; how claimants are treated after reporting victimization and how bullies are addressed, impacts workplace bullying recidivism.

Safety and Innovation

"Low levels of psychological safety can create a culture of silence. They can also create a Cassandra culture – an environment in which speaking up is belittled and warnings go unheeded." - Amy C Edmondson
