  "Only humans have law. Law must be built." - Raphael Lemkin "The good of the people is the greatest law." - Cicero "All that makes existence valuable to any one depends on the enforcement of restraints upon the actions of other people." - John Stuart Mill #leadersarentbullies #psychologicalsafetyatworkact #endbullying #healthyworkplaces #innerpeace Having a credible and confidential process for managing complaints and intervening in #bullying cases inhibits aggressive, bullying behaviors and reduces defenseless target anxiety.

"The chief purpose of government is to protect life." - Thomas Jefferson "Journalism is the protection between people and any sort of totalitarian rule. That's why my hero, admittedly a flawed one, is a journalist." - Andrew Vachss #leadersarentbullies #endbullying #metoo

Happy New Year!  May all your efforts lead to great outcomes (and victories)!

"Prejudice is a form of untruthfulness, and untruthfulness is an insidious form of injustice." - Miroslav Volf "The focus of subjectivity is a distorting mirror." - Hans-Georg Gadamer "Truth will ultimately prevail where there is pains to bring it to light." - George Washington #leadersarentbullies #BeTransparent

"There is no greater tyranny than that which is perpetrated under the shield of the law and in the name of justice." - Montesquieu Corporations, like Toray Plastics America, can use their power and resources to bully individuals, like they did to me, using a colluding, complicit, and corrupt Federal Justice System.  After almost five years of intentional court delays, used to destroy my book's momentum, TPA dismissed my case, with prejudice, and paid my legal fees, basically admitting the case was a frivolous farce. 

"Nothing strengthens authority so much as silence." - Leonardo da Vinci "To be silent is to be complicit." - Richard Edelman #leadersarentbullies #betransparent Bullying prevails because it is tolerated. 95% of respondents in one UNISON workplace study state bullying continues when  “bullies can get away with it” and “victims are too scared to report it.  In 100% of workplace bullying cases, senior executives are aware of the abuse.”
