"Where the law is subject to corruption, justice becomes a weapon in the hands of the oppressors." – Unknow "When the judge is a party to the suit, and the lawyers are his accomplices, the trial is a tragedy of the darkest kind." – Legal philosophy "A court of law is a place where truth and innocence are often the first casualties of a corrupt alliance." – Unknown "The trial itself is a conspiracy... where the judgment is passed long before the evidence is heard." – Franz Kafka #justice #light #truth #innocence #evidence #leadersarentbullies #HealthyWorkplaces #law #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #equality #psychologicalsafetyatworkact #liberty

"Each moment is a choice. If [God] removed options, you lose freedom.

Their workplace offers opportunity to harm. Only a very small percentage of survivors, like pedophiles, choose to repeat the abuse cycle, yet all perpetraors were abused. It is a learned, deviant, behavior.

"Workplace culture reflects the leaders' priorities. Toxic leadership equals toxic culture." — Robin Sharma "In a toxic culture, fear replaces motivation and blame replaces accountability." — Lolly Daskal "Great leaders fix toxic cultures. They empower, involve, listen, appreciate, challenge, support, mentor." — Unknown #values #priorities #empower #listen #coach #LeadersArentBullies #HealthyWorkplaces  #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #mentor #psychologicalsafetyatworkact #support  An existing, toxic, working culture where abusive behaviors are normalized as “the way we’ve always done it,” fosters ruthless and inhumane behavior and bullying.
