They overreact, they are controlling, they make threats and humiliate others… they are workplace bullies, abrasive leaders, aggressive co-workers, or just plain meanies. While they may be valuable to your organization given their ability to drive results, they also cost your organization in lowered morale, increased absenteeism, and in retaliation against you, the employer.

Learn why abrasive people engage in workplace bullying (hint, it’s not because they enjoy hurting others) and how to make them stop with a tried and true method that really works.
