This is a slippery slope, asking a leader to begin applying behaviors against a diagnosis. I have seen people with best of intentions quickly put themselves and the company at serious risk of litigation.

There is a saying : “In life, we meet the people we are supposed to meet.” So why is this person in your life, what lesson are they bringing you? View it from the opportunity to learn a new skill, lesson, or perspective even if the answer is “they are showing me how not to treat other people.’

If you can’t have a crucial conversation, I suggest going to HR. I’ve been asked by some if they are overreacting by going to HR, and I tell them no. After they do go to HR, they find that they are the 9th person who has complained about the “bully”, so now HR has enough information to take next steps.

What if their response to your request for a respectful way of interacting is not an insult (“You are weak-skinned, etc”), but something like: “This is just how I speak to everyone. I’m allowed to bring my whole self to work. Let’s be open-minded and respectful to everyone’s way of expressing here.”
Or: “This is how everyone interacts nowadays (or: in this field of work). There is nothing wrong with it. It’s not personal or anything.”

And if the person doing the bullying is your boss, then good luck. Might as well start to look for a new job, they always win.

Frank is my hero who I shall introduce to my granddaughter. It is my hope she will become a Frank – a person excited by learning and a person that inspires others to learn.!

I also want to know what Frank did after high school was over and his adult life began. Love to see more article like this. Thank you. for making my day!

Comment on History & Development of SDI 2.0 by teresabar19c7b9f4cf

Thank you for this extremely thorough description of the development of the SDI to its current form. I found it fascinating but, more importantly, utterly convicting. I ended up printing the key graphics and descriptions from my SDI 2.0 results and posting it over my desk so I will see it regularly, hopefully reminding me why I do what I do (and to scale down on the overdone strengths). I value the work and underlying philosophies of this assessment and am thankful for it!
