Happy Father's Day! "Bullying consists of the least competent most aggressive employee projecting their incompetence on to the least aggressive most competent employee and winning." — Tim Field "If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse, and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality." — De@smond Tutu "Bullies are cruel and possibly irretrievable, but their anger and bullying behavior is often a displacement of their own lack of self-esteem and self-confidence." — Keith Sullivan, Mark Cleary, and Ginny Sullivan "Bullying is not just about physical violence, it's also about psychological violence - the kind of violence that leaves scars on the soul." — Julia Gillard "One's dignity may be assaulted, vandalized and cruelly mocked, but it can never be taken away unless it is surrendered." — Michael J.

Fight the Power

Image
"In this society, power and money basically overrule the laws that every other person must abide by. The U.S. justice system holds back when big-name corporations are involved because of the possible impacts on our economy."— Aleida Montanez  "Moneyed interests seem to enjoy an easier road to relief in this Court than ordinary citizens."— Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson@ "When you see something that is not right, not fair, not just, you have to speak up. You have to say something; you have to do something."— John Lewis #power #money #laws #equality #relief #justice  #leadersarentbullies #HealthyWorkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #speakout  #psycholigicalsafetyatworkact #TruthWins

Protect the People

“HR is here to protect the company, not the employees." - Sarah Brock "The people who must never have power are the humorless. To impossible certainties of rectitude they ally tedium and uniformity." - Christopher Hitchens Bullies have little humor & can't laugh at themselves. #protect #employees #humor #laugh #power #leadersarentbullies #HealthyWorkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #equality #psycholigicalsafetyatworkact #speakout  Most bullies know they won’t be punished, and corrupt HR associates and managers tolerate bullying environments, understanding their role is to protect the company, management, and HR. Targeted employees now know they have little legal precedent or leverage to protect themselves.

Power to the People

"The people are the rightful masters of both Congresses, and courts, not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution." - Abraham Lincoln "The oppression of lawless corporate wealth... will ruin our Republic." – Ted Roosevelt #people #citizens #justice #Constitution #power #leadersarentbullies #HealthyWorkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #speakout #psycholigicalsafetyatworkact #equality

Let the Truth Come Out

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.: "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." Ida B. Wells: "The way to right wrongs is to turn the light of truth upon them." Mahatma Gandhi: "Silence becomes cowardice when occasion demands speaking out the whole truth and acting accordingly." Thurgood Marshall: "Where you see wrong or inequality or injustice, speak out, because this is your country." #justice #truth #equality #light #speakout #leadersarentbullies #HealthyWorkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #rights  #psycholigicalsafetyatworkact #courage  

Fight for Liberty and Equality

Image
"The true threat to our liberty and equality is when unelected judges with life tenure act as servants to powerful business interests." - Sheldon Whitehouse  Toray's collusion with these Federal Judges "is flat-out corruption of the judicial system... a complete miscarriage of justice and a violation of the American principle of equal treatment under the law." — Jack Reed #liberty #equality #justice #FairTrial #FreeSpeech #leadersarentbullies #HealthyWorkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #rights #psycholigicalsafetyatworkact #SpeakUp

Eradicating bullying is not just a “just and right thing to do,” it’s a “must do.”  Organizational survival in the twenty-first century depends on it. #trust #respect #safety #retain #morale #ideas  #leadersarentbullies #healthyworkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #happy  #psycholigicalsafetyatworkact #productivity "People stay where they feel respected. They grow where they feel trusted." — Sarah Rilling  "Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people." — Eleanor Roosevelt "Toxic workplaces destroy productivity, morale, and, ultimately, the organization." — Jim Collins
