A bully's greatest fear is being exposed as an incompetent fraud.  The most talented and gifted employees trigger this fear.  Attacking these triggers is workplace bullying's root cause.   "What we don't understand, we fear. What we fear, we judge as evil. What we judge as evil, we attempt to control. And what we cannot control, we attack." - Dan Brown #competence #confidence #talent #gifts #leadersarentbullies #HealthyWorkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #embrace #psychologicalsafetyatworkact #welcome
