A toolkit for managers wanting to create inclusive cultures by addressing toxic behaviors that stagnate innovation, fracture work communities, and drive out top employees and as a lifeline for employees suffering through workplace abuse.

Workplace Bullying: A Guide to Understanding and Overcoming is a lifeline for people who have been targets of workplace abuse and are desperately trying to make sense of the trauma. It is a resource for partners trying to help their loved ones heal. And, it is a toolkit for managers and industry leaders inspiring to create inclusive cultures by proactively addressing toxic behaviors that stagnate innovation, fracture work communities, and drive out top employees. To simplify a complex topic and make the book readable and engaging for a wide audience, the author uses eight elements of story to structure the reader's travel through the treacherous trials of workplace abuse: The Journey, The Characters (The Archetypes), The Plotlines, The Conflict, The Setting, The Fall, The Rise, and The Final Act.
