Non-verbal bullying, such
as pointing your finger specifically at a person or group to drive a point
across, is an aggressive action and often does not translate well across
cultures. Assertive non-verbal communication may be threatening, condescending,
intimidating, and a form of harassment. All communication is 93% non-verbal,
and using non-verbal communication to bully covertly is a maladaptive form of
self-expression while being too cowardly to state the facts so that an adult
conversation is possible.
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.
