Here’s a great question to ponder: “How might you become a stronger voice for a healthier workplace?”
In a recent workshop, as we were reviewing the list of behaviors that are considered workplace incivility, a manager exclaimed, “Are we now teaching people in the workplace basic manners? Is this what we have come to?!”
Do people really intend to be dismissive, belittling or inconsiderate when they engage in those seemingly insignificant behaviors that we refer to as workplace incivility?
If you have refrained from taking action to deal with incivility in your workplace, you must have had good reasons to do so.
