"Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely." — Lord Acton "The surest way to work up a crusade in favor of some good cause is to promise people they will have a chance of maltreating someone. To be able to destroy with good conscience, to be able to behave badly and call your bad behavior 'righteous indignation' is the height of luxury, the most delicious moral treat." — Aldous Huxley #power #good #selfless #love #capitalism #leadersarentbullies #healthyworkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #protect #psycholigicalsafetyatworkact #community People who push others around are often driven by the need for power. It takes a conscious choice to bully and to derive pleasure in having power and control over others. #LeadersArentBullies

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
