Recognize toxic coworkers, support bullied colleagues, and thrive in
the workplace and beyond
Ranging from general conflict to psychological violence, workplace
bullying has become an epidemic at many offices. The Workplace Bullying
Institute reports that workplace bullying affects approximately 80
million workers. And with the Great Resignation upon us, we're seeing
that a toxic culture or manager is one of the top reasons employees
leave a company.
In Walk Away to Win, Megan Carle draws on her own experience as a
target of workplace bullying--paired with the latest research in the
field--to reveal how unhealthy workplace cultures enable this insidious
behavior. She describes the impact of bullying on an organization's
bottom line; explains what you can do to combat bullying against
yourself or your coworkers; analyzes the common characteristics of
bullies; and helps readers understand how to face each style of bullying
behavior. You'll learn everything you need to know about:
- The fundamentals of workplace bullying
- Various types of bullies, including the Two-Face, the About-Face, and
the Rat-Face
- Cultural context of workplace bullying
- A target's options for responding to their bully
- How you can help a colleague who is being bullied
- How business leaders must respond to bullies--including termination
Walk Away to Win sends a loud-and-clear message to targets of
bullying: this is not your fault, and there are steps you can take to
protect yourself and your career--including the ultimate win of walking
away if your company doesn't support you.
The book also sends a message to leaders in business: if you tolerate
workplace bullies, you'll lose staff, productivity and market share; a
no-tolerance policy is the only path forward. If you, a coworker, or a
member of your staff is experiencing bullying, Walk Away to Win
belongs in your arsenal to combat this behavior and make positive change
for everyone.
