"Someone must have enough sense and morality to cut off the chain of hate and evil, and this can only be done through love.” - Martin Luther King Jr. "Hate only keeps traveling round the world, until one person chooses to break the cycle." - Abhijit Naskar #leadersarentbullies #healthyworkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #StepUp #psychologicalsafetyayworkact A bullied target may repeat the abusive behavior. When a bullied employee supervises other employees, the supervisor may mirror the belittling behavior with his or her subordinates.  Those subordinates, in turn, may direct the bullying behavior at their next available target.

"Not everyone has been a bully or the victim of bullies, but everyone has seen bullying, and seeing it, has responded to it by joining in or objecting, by laughing or keeping silent, by feeling disgusted or feeling interested." - Octavia E. Butler "Don't give in to bullying or others making fun of people. Stand up for yourself. Stand up for your friends. Be that one person who is genuinely good-hearted." - Michelle McCool #leadersarentbullies #healthyworkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #StepUp #psychologicalsafetyayworkact

"Relationships feed on credibility, honesty, and consistency." - Scott Borchetta "The truth is an objective standard by which reality is measured." - Tony Evans #healthyworkplaces #Stepup #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #psychologicalsafetyayworkact Individuals are more motivated to use objective and factual constructive #feedback delivered with tact to improve their performance than negative feedback delivered in an inconsiderate, demeaning, manner. #LeadersArentBullies

Experienced, and was blessed to transcend, 7 of these 10 events.  If you know me, you helped me. Thank you. "Remember, that of all the elements that comprise a human being, the most important, the most essential, the one that will sustain, transcend, overcome and vanquish obstacles is - Spirit!" - Buddy Ebsen "I was lucky that I met the right mentors and teachers (and coaches) at the right moment." - James Levine #leadersarentbullies #healthyworkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #StepUp #psychologicalsafetyatworkact

"Discipline and unconditional support is earned by understanding and trust and inclusion. Not by isolation, not by nasty tricks." - Colm Keaveney "Like a welcome summer rain, humor may suddenly cleanse and cool the earth, the air and you." - Langston Hughes #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #healthyworkplaces #StepUp #psychologicalsafetyatworkact Social inclusion—belonging to a group—is a fundamental human need. When coworkers are driven to ostracize one or more of their own, they are cutting out part of their own soul. #LeadersArentBullies

"People leave managers, not companies." - Marcus Buckingham "Research indicates that employees have three prime needs: Interesting work, recognition for doing a good job, and being let in on things that are going on in the company." - Zig Ziglar #leadersarentbullies #healthyworkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #StepUp #psychologicalsafetyatworkact

"Solitude vivifies; isolation kills." - Joseph Roux. "The worst cruelty that can be inflicted on a human being is isolation." + Sukarno “Silent treatment in a relationship is often a sign of selfishness and weakness!” — Malbro Kingston #healthyworkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #StepUp #psychologicalsafetyatworkact Given the profile of a prosocial and positive target, bullies often command coworkers to isolate the target, prohibiting them from helping the target on work-related tasks, or fraternizing with the target, or even taking breaks at the same time. #LeadersArentBullies
