“In the end, those who demean others only disrespect themselves.” - D.B. Harrop "He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still." - Lao Tzu "No man is free who is not master of himself." Epictetus Workplace bullying is persistent, demeaning, unwelcome behavior. Bullies attempt to control and undermine their workers with distorted or fabricated allegations of under-performance. #LeadersArentBullies

"Accountability breeds response-ability." - Stephen Covey "Trust brings a higher level of communication and a higher level of commitment and accountability." - Bruce Arians "The consequences of an act affect the probability of its occurring again." - B. F. Skinner #leadersarentbullies #HealthyWorkplaces #BeTransparent #SpeakUp #metoo #Decency #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #psychologicalsafetyatworkact  

"Lawsuit abuse is a major contributor to the increased costs of healthcare, goods and services to consumers." - Charles W. Pickering "Every institution, including the judiciary has its share of black sheep and corrupt judges." - Prashant Bhushan "Judges are the weakest link in our system of justice, and they are also the most protected." - Alan Dershowitz #maliciousprosecution #TortiousInterference #leadersarentbullies #HealthyWorkplaces #BeTransparent #Decency #SpeakUp #metoo #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #psychologicalsafetyatworkact

"If you see harassment happening, speak up. Being harassed is terrible; having bystanders pretend they don't notice is infinitely worse." - Celeste Ng "Intimidation, harassment, (bullying), and violence have no place in a democracy." - Mo Ibrahim #HealthyWorkplaces #SpeakUp #metoo #BeTransparent #Decency #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct   #psychologicalsafetyatworkact Even today, workplace bullying is still somewhat a taboo subject. It’s akin to how bullying among children at school and bullying in the form of sexual harassment of working women was perceived before 1970. #LeadersArentBullies

"If the First Amendment means anything, it means that a state has no business telling a man, sitting alone in his house, what books he may read or what films he may watch." - Thurgood Marshall "If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter." - George Washington #maliciousprosecution #TortiousInterference #leadersarentbullies #HealthyWorkplaces #SpeakUp #BeTransparent #metoo #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #psychologicalsafetyatworkact
