Twenty-five percent of employees suffer with peer to peer bullying and its on the rise Michy Batshuayi Chelsea Jersey , according to the National Institute of Safety and Health. Dina Beach Lynch, a 12 year workplace strategist and mediator, has the answer: Conflict Coaching. A short-term Marcos Alonso Chelsea Jersey , results-oriented tool, conflict coaching enables employers to quickly, skillfully manage bullying before it escalates into complaints and harrassment charges.
Workplace bullies act out because they lack the interpersonal and communication skills to connect genuinely to another person or be persuasive. Through Conflict Coaching Kurt Zouma Chelsea Jersey , companies can respond to and effective manage the bully's behavior while taking steps to safeguard against future lawsuits.
Bullies learn proven techniques to be more persuasive and collaborative in the workplace. Individuals can identify what action is their best interests; deal with the highly charged emotions-theirs and others; and create strategies to get great results through coaching. The outcome- the bully becomes less contentious, more focused and productive.
Peer to peer bullying can occur when the bully is fearful of loss and believes (whether real or perceived) that the person bullied is the cause of that loss. Instead of dealing directly with his fears, the bully resorts to using power plays- intimidation Kenedy Chelsea Jersey , isolation, gossip- to control the person they see at fault and defend against that perceived loss.
For example, a bully working on a cross-functional team may control others with threats of reporting up to ensure that she doesn't lose face with her boss for not completing a project on time.
Or John Terry Chelsea Jersey , a team member who thought he should have been team leader may aggressively challenge every decision and idea by the leader as a way of regaining self-esteem and demonstrating how much more effective his leadership would have been. In both these instances, the bullies either weren't aware of or lacked the communication skills to build collaborative relationships with their colleagues. That lack of knowledge and skill leads to bullying and worse in a business setting.
Conflict management- being able to bridge across difference to create a workable solution- is a skill sorely lacking in today's workforce at a time when increasing workloads and decreasing resources make it critical. Smart companies educate their people to become better problem-solvers to safeguard against harrassment and discrimination claims.
