No excuses … Bullies can be trained to behave better so let’s start training them.
Bullying is a behavior. Behaviors are learned. They do it because it works. If you want to make it stop – you have to make it stop working.

This approach – not control – but help – works. It’s compassionate. It’s humane. It’s science based. And we need to start being more intentional in what we teach and how we teach it.
The answer to the question – does it help to ignore a bully – is complicated. It depends on what you mean by – ignore.
What if, instead of a training that taught the law and nothing else, we actually taught adults how to make harassment stop in the workplace using behavioral science and humanistic ethical behavior?
