I'm tired of bullying stories.

Yes indeed, I'm tired of bullying stories. Lets face it. Flowers won't grow on barren land just as bluebottle flies won't exist in a clean environment. So lets talk about creating an environment in which people can give of their creative talents and where the 'bluebottle' people will not thrive.

From my direct experience in the education sector and some reading,  I believe we need to refocus on what management does to create the working environment and to identify those who duck and dodge when dealing with a bullying situation.

Voices need to be heard and acknowledged but not in a voyeuristic way that looses impact like last weeks newspaper headline. This 'headline' culture just keeps the spotlight off management.
