Barbarians and Bullies

Excellent post today on Carpe Factum about Ken and Barbarians

In my more recent experience, I have learned that corporate bullying is often a symptom rather than a disease. I have started to recognize that many managers will resort to bullying when they are insecure, especially when they are challenged. This is even more common, when the manager is hired to come in to clean up a mess. I have seen a rather Machiavellian approach to implementation of change (tick everyone off at once, then let the dust settle) or a serial change (try all kinds of things, but don't let anything grow to produce fruit).
