 "People leave their manager; they don't leave companies." - John Stumpf "Appreciation is a wonderful thing: It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well." - Voltaire #leadersarentbullies #healthyworkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #stepup #DignityAtWorkAct

"Negative bullies can ruin a good mood. Pessimistic outlooks and gloomy attitudes can kill motivation and change how we feel. If negative people affect your emotions, you allow them too much power. Make a conscious effort to choose your attitude." - Amy Morin #healthyworkplaces #stepup #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #DignityAtWorkAct People buy on emotion. “People do not buy goods and services. They buy relations, stories, and magic.” – @ThisIsSethsBlog Keep your wits about you; bullies are masters at manipulating emotions. #LeadersArentBullies

Workplace bullies attempt to destroy anyone who triggers a bully's greatest fear; being exposed as an incompetent fraud.  "Truth will ultimately prevail where there is pains to bring it to light." - George Washington #leadersarentbullies #healthyworkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #stepup #DignityAtWorkAct

"Freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. Fear of hunger and lack of work are the stuff of which dictatorships are made." - Franklin D. Roosevelt "The process of spotting fear and refusing to obey it is the source of all true empowerment." - Martha Beck #leadersarentbullies #healthyworkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #stepup #DignityAtWorkAct Bad leaders cultivate in constituents a sense of financial dependence to sabotage self-efficacy. Deviant officials and managers can manipulate and leverage worker insecurities and trigger immature needs to affiliate. 

 "Revenge... is like a rolling stone, which, when a person hath forced up a hill, will return upon them with a greater violence, and break those bones whose sinews gave it motion." - Jeremy Taylor "Humans must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love." - Martin Luther King, Jr. #leadersarentbullies #healthyworkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #stepup #DignityAtWorkAct

"Leadership is a privilege to better the lives of others. It is not an opportunity to satisfy personal greed." - Mwai Kibaki "Greed is not a financial issue. It's a heart issue." - Andy Stanley #healthyworkplaces #stepup #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #DignityAtWorkAct How many organizations put their need for profit ahead of their employees’ and society’s safety, health, peace, and well-being? Demand more, as a consumer and as an employee. #LeadersArentBullies

 "The people who are bullying you, they're insecure about who they are, and that's why they're bullying you. It never has to do with the person they're bullying. They go out of their way to make people feel as bad as they feel." - Madelaine Petsch "I realized that bullying never has to do with you. It's the bully who's insecure." - Shay Mitchell #leadersarentbullies #healthyworkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #stepup #DignityAtWorkAct
