Competence and Confidence

Image
The root cause of workplace bullying is the bully's great fear of being exposed as an incompetent fraud. Talented people often trigger incompetent and insecure employees who are in over their heads / bad fits / bad hires. "The cure for workplace bullying and the imposter syndrome is not more self-esteem. It’s competence."— Anonymous #competence #confidence #PeterPrinciple #leadersarentbullies #healthyworkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #talent #psychologicalsafetyatworkact #selfawareness

Happy Sunday!

Got To Be Real

"A great person is always willing to be little." — Ralph Waldo Emerson "Insecurity is loud. Confidence is quiet. True leadership is calm, steady, and secure in its purpose." — Unknown "Do not let other's behavior destroy your inner peace." — Dalai Lama #greatness #confidence #calm #steady #secure #leadersarentbullies #healthyworkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #peace ##psychologicalsafetyatworkact #maturity  Bullies target gifted and decent people whose talent and goodness infuriates the bully. A bully's greatest fear is being seen in comparison as an incompetent fraud. Bullies loathe, and are frustrated with, themselves. They attack people who trigger this fear and self hate.

Let There Be Peace on Earth

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." — Thomas Jefferson  "The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any." — Alice Walker "Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding." — Albert Einstein #liberty #power #peace #freedom #beacon #leadersarentbullies #healthyworkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #hope #psychologicalsafetyatworkact #NeverGiveUp

Justice is Coming

Toray's frivolous lawsuit against me was based in revenge.  They shopped friendly judges who conspired with Toray's false claims to bully me.   "Revenge involves taking the law into your own hands. Justice is the opposite of revenge. Justice means handing over your cause to an impartial tribunal..." — Lord Jonathan Sacks #justice #truth #impartial #honorable #character #leadersarentbullies #healthyworkplaces #life #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #liberty #psycholigicalsafetyatworkact #happiness

All We Need Is Love

“A bully's cruelty is not a show of power — it's proof of emptiness.” — Unknown "No one is born hating another person. People must learn to hate..." - Nelson Mandela #perceptions #observations #opinions #facts #leadersarentbullies #healthyworkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #truth #psycholigicalsafetyatworkact #justice  A bully’s mental models, perceptions, criticisms, and insecurities can foster fear for, and prejudice against, for example, people of different races, religions, or sexual orientations. Leaders are comfortable in their own skin. They aren't threatened, and rise above with facts.

Friends Walk In
