Oh Sh*t, I Might Be a Bully!": On Perpetration, Shame, Guilt, and Taking Ownership

We talk a lot about toxic workplaces, toxic people, and how to protect ourselves from harm. But what happens when we realize the person causing harm might be us? In this episode, Dr. Jamie McNally explores how most workplace bullying doesn't come from people who intend to cause harm or find pleasure in it; it comes from people who engage in harmful behaviors unintentionally, and that means we may just be susceptible to engaging in it, too.
