From Leaders, Bullies and Coaches

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A leader:
A gaggle of geese following leader (parent, here)
A leader is somebody whom people follow. A leader has authority. For people to accept a leader, his or her leadership must therefore be legitimate.

Because people follow a leader, the leader can make people do things. A leader can therefore make people work together towards a common goal.[1]

An example of a leader is the head of government of a country. People within the government follow the leader, and citizens look to the head of government for inspiration and guidance. Sometimes, when a head of government lacks legitimacy, people will stop following him or her. The head of government is therefore no longer able to lead properly. This may result in a new election, or in worst case civil war.

A group with no leader is called leaderless.

A Bully:
Bullying is when someone is rude or mean to another person. The people who bully other people are called bullies. Anybody can be bullied, even a group of people. There are many different kinds of bullying. Bullying does not always mean hitting people. It can also be things that people say.

Bullying includes when people see what happens, but they don't do anything about it.[1] When people who see bullying know what to do and they do it, they can help make a bad situation better.

It's also bullying when other people hide it from those who can help (teachers, bosses), when other people see it but ignore it, or when a person helps the bully to do it without getting in trouble.

School teachers and staff have tried to learn ways to stop bullying. However, bullying can be easy to hide.

Some US states have laws against it.

Bullying can happen almost anywhere. This includes at school, at work, at home, and on the internet (cyber-bullying).

A goal is part of what makes bullying what it is. There are many goals that bullies can have, including:

intimidating (to scare) tactics
steamroller (determined) tactics
devaluing (to insult) tactics
arm-twisting (threat or force) tactics

Bullying may be a mix of some of these tactics (ways of doing something). For example, Lance Armstrong said, "Yes, I was a bully. I was a bully in the sense that I tried to control the narrative and if I didn't like what someone said, I turned on them." In other words, when someone said something that Armstrong didn't like, he "ran [them] over" and bullied them.

Bullying also includes using power or position the wrong way. This can mean making comments or threats about losing a job. The person that is getting bullied then feels insecure (not sure) about themselves.

Bullying also includes moving the goalposts by setting goals which subtly change in ways that cannot be reached.

Comprehensive Coaching - Oriented to the subject reaching a unit at the level of his mind, behavior and performance, 5 integrating the different levels of consciousness with his unconscious mind. The intervention of the coach, from the language, stimulates unconscious processes in the subject so that he brings them to the conscience and achieves, little by little, an understanding of himself, his objectives and goals.6
