| Helping Managers Manage Abrasive Behavior: Solving Workplace Bullying Saturday, Oct. 17 from 1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Laura Crawshaw, Ph.D., BCC, Founder and Executive Director, The Boss Whispering Institute It can't go on; something has to change. The organization has gotten multiple complaints from employees describing how difficult it is to work with this individual. They are suffering. Managing abrasive behavior is no easy task, and doing it poorly, or failing to do it altogether can have disastrous consequences for an organization. Why do managers avoid dealing with workplace bullying, and how can OD professionals help them manage unacceptable employee behavior calmly, confidently, and expertly?
