Many project managers would say that bullying is wrong, but not all recognize that it has tangible costs. Targets of bullying often punish their offenders and the organization, although most hide or bury their feelings and don’t necessarily think of their actions as revenge. Through a recent Workplace Bullying Institute poll of 800 managers and employees in 17 industries, we learned just how people’s reactions play out.
“Among workers who’ve been on the receiving end of bullying:

•48% intentionally decreased work effort.
•66% said that their performance declined.
•78% said that their commitment to the organization declined.
•12% said that they left their job”.

Is it now abundantly clear how bullying impacts Projects?
