Bullying Behaviors and Victim Mindsets are not just a Schoolyard Problem ...

The playground isn't the only place where you'll run into bullies.

My work in corporate environments has lead me to conclude that most people are like 'a deer caught in the headlights' when it comes to being able to effectively deal with people who bully, without out-bullying the bully as a tactical move. Another tactic is to act like an ostrich and 'stick their heads in the sand' hoping it will all just go away. Neither will ever work as a long term solution!

Internet bullying has led to suicides. Office bullying is on the rise, and it's a deal-killer no matter what business you're in.

If you think people outgrow bullying behavior just because they get older, think again. Bullies come in all ages, shapes and sizes -- and on all rungs of the corporate ladder.

Remarkably, bullying in the workplace is among the leading reasons for employees to seek other employment. Even more remarkably, most don't list bullying as the reason they quit.

Instead, they suffer in silence and take their talents elsewhere.

And "suffer" they do. Scholars at The Project for Wellness and Work-Life at Arizona State University found "workplace bullying is linked to a host of physical, psychological, organizational, and social costs."

Their research indicated that stress is the most predominant health effect associated with bullying in the workplace: "Stress has significant negative effects that are correlated to poor mental health and poor physical health, resulting in an increase in the use of 'sick days' or time off from work."

Can any organization afford that?
