This post will identify types of bullies who exist. As you watch the video start to think if you may have a bullying issue at work.
Types of Bullies
- The Screaming Mimi or Verbal Bully:
He or she screams or throws things. Words hurt and the bully humiliates the target. - The Constant Critic:
He or she tells everyone how incompetent the target is at work…usually behind the target’s back. This can lead to career destruction for the target if leaders don’t know how to control the situation. - The 2 Headed Snake Bully:
Destroys the target with rumors. - The Gatekeeper Bully:
Withholds resources necessary for targets to succeed. - The Sadistic or Narcissist Bully
Lacks empathy towards others. - The Physical Bully:
Actually hits the target or tables in a violent way. - The Serial Bully:
He or she seems charming while the target is looked upon as a pathetic victim. - The Group Bully:
He or she likes being part of the gang of “mean boys and girls” like in high school.
