In this video, I cover five signs and traits to look out for in a bullying boss or coworker using coercive control tactics. These include: 1. MICROMANAGEMENT - Coercive managers often excessively monitor and control every aspect of their employees' work 2. GASLIGHTING - Perpetrators may deny or distort the reality of situations, causing victims to question their own perceptions and judgment. 3. ISOLATION: Coercive individuals may attempt to isolate their victims to establish complete dominance over them. 4. THREATS AND INTIMIDATION - Veiled or explicit threats to job security, promotions, or reputation are used to manipulate employees into compliance. 5. UNPREDICTABLE BEHAVIOUR - Perpetrators may flip between being charming and intimidating, creating a sense of fear and uncertainty. In this video, I also discuss the Duluth Power and Control Wheel. Adapted from the DA model, this simple but effective tool will help you establish if bullying and intimidation are occurring in the workplace. It helps in establishing facts over feelings, which can be incredibly helpful when understanding coercive control and bullying. I also provide simple but effective tools for managing bullying and coercive control both from an individual and an organisational standpoint. 👍 If you found this video helpful, please give it a like, leave a comment to let me know your thoughts, and share it with anyone who might benefit.
