Most books on conflict management approach it from the organizational perspective. Dr. Wilkin's book on Workplace Bullying examines organizational bullying from the victim's viewpoint. The targets of workplace bullies often suffer long after the bullying stops. Resentment, anger, emotional pain, and even physical ailments can prevent them from moving forward with their lives.
How can people who have been bullied at work grow from victim to survivor?
This book is based on Dr. Wilkin's original research and tells the stories of the survivors of workplace bullying. It focuses on their resilience, how they moved past the hurt, and crucially, how they changed from perceiving themselves as a victim to feeling empowered. The book delves into what workplace bullying is, its costly impact on both the target and organization, and through in-depth studies and interviews, helps us understand how to avoid workplace bullying.
