Reviews

I have worked with Andrew Faas for a number of years and what he advocates in The Bully's Trap is something he has effectively put into practice, particularly in building positive, high performance cultures. -Glenn Murphy, Chair, CEO, Gap Inc. In this book The Bully's Trap, Andrew Faas takes bullying in the workplace as an issue that has long been relegated to human resources and powerfully and convincingly makes the assertion that this must be dealt with at the top. -F. Ross Johnson, former CEO, RJR Nabisco The Bully's Trap provides an incredible insight on how corporate cultures influence behaviors. Andrew Faas is a voice of reason on this very real issue and this book should be required reading for anyone in management and included in the curriculum for business programs at colleges and universities. -Paris Vlahovic University of Toronto Graduate Rotman Commerce program, Specialist in Finance and Economics, graduated in 2012 Andrew Faas in The Bully's Trap has really captured what goes on in the workplace. My regret is that I did not have the benefit of his guidance and advice when I was targeted-had I read the book then, I would have handled it in a better way which would have led to a better outcome. -Catherine Labrosse, Registered Nurse, Ontario, Canada

Emotions matter, and matter a great deal at work. They guide complex decision making, help people build and maintain positive relationships, and influence psychological wellbeing. From Bully to Bull's-Eye provides a clear pathway for employees and managers to create psychologically healthy, emotionally intelligent workplaces so that all stakeholders can thrive personally and professionally. -Marc A. Brackett, Ph.D. Director, Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence I worked with Andrew Faas for a number of years and what he advocates in From Bully to Bull's-Eye is something he has effectively put into practice, particularly in building positive, high performance cultures. -Glenn Murphy, Former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Gap Inc. Faas transforms workplace bullying from a non-issue that many managers dismiss as unimportant into a full-blown psychological and business emergency. This issue can't be dealt with anywhere but at the very top of successful organizations. From Bully to Bull's-Eye will wake many businesspeople up to the realities of the modern workplace, and hopefully help them change their environments into ones of psychological and emotional safety. -Paul Gionfriddo, President and CEO of Mental Health America
