Missing the Symptoms of the Explosive Bully

 

Bullies are often described as someone being different or a bit odd in their childhood, adolescence, or early adulthood, having 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. -Dr. Stewart

Misuse of Power

 

How do you identify the misuse of power? It depends on the organizational structure, mission, and values, as well as how acts of aggression and abuse of power are labeled. Some organizations would not recognize a bully rising to power because bullies exude magnificence while riding on coworkers' skills, competencies, and talents to save the day. Other organizations would sense that something was wrong because of a shift in focus away from the organization's mission and vision, and because of decreased employee satisfaction and loyalty.

Finding the Good in a Toxic Work Environment

Organizational administrators often stand ready to adapt to costly new management and leadership programs to offset the rising cost of doing business in a toxic environment, enlisting consultants to diagnose organizational culture and to produce treatment plans filled with cognitive behavioral approaches that are vague and short-lived. While some consulting expense is necessary, organizational leaders may be missing the easiest of all remedies for toxic workplace environments and the escalating cost of doing business within an industry, which can be found in  Finding the Good in the Workplace Bully.

Chaos and 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; they are fueled by imbalances in the organizational culture and slowly nurtured to take their unfair share of workplace power.
