In my years as a leader, executive and top business coach, I\u2019ve asked countless individuals to tell me about the best boss they\u2019ve ever had and sure enough, their eyes always light up. Further, I regularly coach people when working with bad bosses. I teach that we can learn from every boss we ever work with, good or bad. Sadly, the feedback they give on bad bosses is significantly more regular. Many times, people find themselves in a situation with not only a bad boss, but a bully boss with no idea what to do.
First, some context on workplace bullying and the bully boss. How bad of a problem is this?
A 2017 study found:
\u2022 60 million Americans are affected by workplace bullying in some fashion
\u2022 Of those affected, Bosses comprise 61% of bullies
\u2022 When trying to stop bullying, 65% of bullied employees lost their original jobs
