Your Awareness of a Bully:
Anticipate His Next Move

Since a bully is a master of deceit, his bullying is often difficult to recognize. But if you understand a bully's strategy and intentions, you can observe subtle traits and patterns of manipulation.

Step 1: Understand his thinking

What are his main motivations in life? What does he really want from this company? What does he wants others to think he wants? What does he want from me? How does he plan to use me to achieve his goals? What is his attitude towards me? What vulnerabilities does he think I have?
