Escalations in Chaos and Workplace Tension
The workplace bully can easily be identified when there are escalations in chaos and workplace tension because bullies are often central figures who receive credit for all infamous deeds and, sometimes, heroics. Bullies harbor resources, information, and knowledge and undermine every functional process. However, workplace bullies do not suddenly emerge into existence but are fueled by imbalances in the organizational culture and slowly nurtured to take their unfair share of the workplace power.

Investing in the Failure of Others
Investing in the failure of others sounds odd, but it is a characteristic behavior of the bully. History is full of people who wanted others to fail for personal gain. Practices such as these indicate that something is wrong with the emotional well-being of the organization. A sick organization is created when the hierarchy of needs is unmet, such as when the workplace is unstable or unsafe or social needs are ignored and when a lack of respect is the norm, and self-efficacy, fulfillment, and autonomy are missing.
