how to overcome bullying in your team: a practical handbook for the workplace

This compassionate guide is packed with advice for those being bullied by their colleagues, or those who recognize that a team member is the target of workplace bullying.

Being bullied by your team at work is highly toxic. You might experience considerable distress, a dramatic loss of self-esteem and tumbling self-confidence, alongside isolation or abandonment, as a trusted team of colleagues turns a blind eye to what’s happening to you.

In How to Overcome Bullying in Your Team, chartered psychologist Aryanne Oade shares a wealth of practical wisdom for those being bullied by their team at work. Whether the bully is your team manager, a peer or a more junior colleague, this book will provide you with tactics, insight and empathy with which you can tackle team bullying. You will learn to:

• Develop the skills and resilience you need to confront bullying and protect yourself from it
• Recognize the ways that team dynamics and allegiances alter because of bullying
• Respond effectively to a range of team bullying tactics, including whispering campaigns, outright untruths and unjust accusations of under-performance
• Speak up for a colleague who is being bullied in front of the team
• Regain your self-esteem and self-confidence after team bullying - and begin to thrive at work

Aryanne Oade works as a chartered psychologist, executive coach, workshop facilitator, author and interactive presenter. She has run her coaching and development business, Oade Associates, since 1994 and is the author of a number of bestselling books all focused on workplace wellbeing.
