Foreword
ОглавлениеHardly a day goes by without hearing something about bullying - in the press, on television, on the radio, from friends, neighbours or acquaintances. And it seems increasingly urgent to tackle the phenomenon of bullying; the relevant facts and figures speak for themselves.
It can be assumed that quite a few of my readers have experienced first-hand what bullying means, what it can do, how it affects the psyche, health and the whole personal environment. Perhaps you have also taken up this book because you are currently a victim of bullying at work. If so, by buying this book you have already taken the first step towards changing your situation for the better. But not only mobbing victims will find help here. Even if you are a manager, you will find guidance on how to behave when bullying occurs in your department or company. You can save a lot of work, money and nerves if, as a manager, you avoid bullying from the outset or effectively counteract any bullying that occurs.
I myself am one of the many victims of bullying. The harassment that I experienced dragged on - not for weeks but for months; I was systematically kept small in my company. This form of humiliation affected not only my soul, but also my married and family life.
I now know that one must not hesitate for long to counteract this process of harassment, because: Something can be done about it!
It is important not to close one's eyes when one feels the first signs, but to keep an alert mind and a clear vision of what is happening so that appropriate measures can be taken in good time.
In addition to clarifying why, where and how mobbing takes place and what damage it causes in companies and in the economy, this book is intended to show numerous measures and means of resistance.
Bullying can manifest itself in many different ways. This book will help you to recognise bullying at an early stage so that you can adapt your behaviour accordingly. In addition, it will show you ways and solutions to effectively counter the phenomenon of bullying.
Remember: bullying happens where it is allowed and where the environment does not intervene.
