Walk Away to Win: A Playbook to Combat Workplace Bullying [Audiobook]

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 listeners 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; the cultural context of workplace bullying; a target's options for responding to their bully; how you can help a colleague who is being bullied; and how business leaders must respond to bullies—including termination.
