What a vital, much needed topic! Once I endured a bully boss for five years. I always said about him, "Hitler missed a good man." Would you believe he held staff meeting on Super Bowl Sunday at 6 PM kickoff time? As I was packing to leave after getting another job, I used newfound courage and told him what I really thought of him. Maybe that wasn't totally professional, yet I have never regretted being unusually gutsy then. He could have called my next boss, but I think he was too shocked that someone would stand up to him, that for once revenge didn't appeal to him.

Good for you, Bill, in having the courage to address what needed to be done. That is critical. This is where communication comes in and helps us know how to approach important decisions. You help people learn how to communiate and make it happen. Thank you for all you do!
Your support means plenty, every time, Terry. Just in the last couple of days many of us read a report about American workers being fearful at work--mainly because of bullies. Standing up to them may become the next widespread revolution!
