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.

Bullying in teams can be highly toxic. Those targeted often experience considerable distress, a dramatic loss of self-esteem and tumbling self-confidence. Feelings of isolation or abandonment are common, too, as a trusted team of colleagues turns a blind eye to the bullying. Previously effective working relationships deteriorate, the quality of work done by the team reduces, and the power dynamics in the team shift as established working alliances alter.

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 how to:

• Develop the skills and resilience you need to confront bullying and protect yourself from it 
• Recognize ways in which 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
