Corporate America’s Silent Epidemic: Workplace Bullying (For Leaders)

Corporate America's Silent Epidemic: Workplace Bullying is a short, practical, and research-grounded guide written specifically for C-suite executives and senior leaders who are positioned to significantly change their organization’s culture in what they permit, protect, and produce.

Drawing on verified data from the Workplace Bullying Institute, Gallup, McKinsey, and others, the guide examines how workplace bullying operates at the organizational level and how it concentrates in the manager-to-direct-report relationship.



Three organizational case reviews, each drawn from documented patterns, examine what institutional failure looks like from the inside. They reveal the signals leadership missed and make clear that a different set of decisions would have changed the outcome. Each section concludes with an executive response framework. The final part consolidates those frameworks into five concrete decisions that alter what an organization detects, how it should respond, and what it should ultimately allow. This guide is written for leaders who understand that organizational culture is the cumulative result of every decision made, and every decision avoided, at the top.
