Helping Organisations and Individuals Eradicate This Pandemic

DESPITE YEARS OF INVESTMENT IN WORKPLACE BULLYING AWARENESS AND TRAINING, MANY ORGANISATIONS CONTINUE TO SEE LITTLE CHANGE. IN FACT, TROUBLINGLY, THE NUMBERS OF REPORTED BULLYING INCIDENTS ARE ESCALATING RATHER THAN DIMINISHING.

Breaking the Cycle of Workplace Bullying takes you deep into the hidden corners of workplace toxicity, unveiling the subtle and overt forms of bullying that destroy morale, erode confidence, and stifle organizational growth. Through personal stories and real-life case studies, Mabore Sithole exposes the full spectrum of bullying—from relational and verbal attacks to the silent damage of institutional toxicity—demonstrating how these behaviours ripple through workplaces, impacting individuals and cultures alike.

What makes this book truly powerful is its fresh, proactive, and non-punitive approach. Rather than resorting to harsh penalties, Mabore advocates for addressing bullying at its roots. She shows how fostering emotional intelligence, cultivating empathy, and holding leaders accountable can transform even the most toxic environments into spaces of psychological safety and inclusion. This is not just about protecting victims—it’s about rehabilitating bullies, reshaping culture, and building workplaces where everyone feels valued.

With practical guidance, real-world examples, and actionable strategies, Breaking the Cycle of Workplace Bullying equips leaders, HR professionals, and employees with the tools to spot toxic behaviours early, intervene effectively, and drive lasting cultural change. More than just a guide to addressing bullying, this book is your blueprint for creating a thriving workplace where respect, dignity, and growth are at the forefront.
