It is time that this destructive issue be addressed and resolved; however, you may be asking yourself how to accomplish such a task. The Complete Guide to Understanding, Controlling, and Stopping Bullies & Bullying at Work will provide you with valuable information on the topic, as well as unique solutions to the problem.In this new book, you will learn how to identify the problem of workplace bullying, how to define the workplace bully, how to identify characteristics of a “targeted” employee, how to identify pathological characteristic of workplace bullies, how to bust bullying, and how to “bully-proof” your employees. This book also discusses the indicators of a toxic workplace, the causes of workplace bullying, reasons why workplace bullying is perpetuated and unchallenged by other employees, the connection between bullying and lethal workplace violence, and the legal aspects of bullying. Furthermore, you will learn about “mob” bullying, the effects of bullying on the “target,” and the effects of bullying on the organization.
