Bullies often described as someone being
different or a bit odd in their childhood, adolescence, or early adulthood have
an enduring pattern of identity crises, chaotic self-direction, lack of
empathy, hypersensitivity to criticism, and intimacy. These fragmented
artifacts of various personality disorders confuse school administrators,
educators, and workplace leaders because the bully can also be charismatic
individuals waiting to save the day on their terms. School-related acts of
violence or mass school or workplace shootings involve individuals who
exhibited these warning signs in a consistent and enduring pattern. However,
leaders and administrators dismissed the symptoms under the labels of someone
being different or a bit odd.
The book An Organizational Approach to Workplace Bullying examines organizational culture and wellness in the presence of bully triads. The book includes ideas for assessment and performance improvement concerning organizational culture. The book addresses possible approaches to improve workplace culture and organizational wellness and to create bully-free environments.
