Common patterns of bullying behaviours
Most of us are aware of the typical stereotypes of the bully….
A person who behaves in a loud, mean rude way in order to get others to fear them and give in to their demands.
But there are many different sets of bullying behaviours some of which you may recognise….
There’s the “Two-faced” hypocrite….
A person who acts like a trusted colleague but stabs people in the back, gossips and takes credit for other’s work.
The Expert
An expert in their field
But lacking in emotional intelligence
See themselves as superior to colleagues and perhaps even above the rules!
The Attention Seeker
Like to be in the spotlight, “me, me, me!”
The Critic
Makes recipient shrink in size with their constant criticism.
The Gatekeeper
Holds back the tools/skills colleagues need to get the job done…
The Sociopath
Though intelligent in many ways. People might describe them as “well spoken” “charismatic” “charming”. They are severely lacking in empathy for others while at the same time being experts at getting what they want.
The Practical Joker
What might have been funny at first becomes quite cruel after a while. Not every prankster is a bully but sometimes the line between being funny and cruel is very thin.
The cold freeze
Actively exclude individuals from social events, leaving the victim feeling like they don’t fit in
– not inviting them to meetings etc.

I really enjoyed this delivery as David mixed the “formal” with anecdotes and true examples whilst allowing for questions. He is obviously learned and interested in the subject and he is an inspirational gentleman.
