The Psychology of the Crowd
Manage episode 516221740 series 3681921
Workplace bullying doesn’t survive because of one person — it survives because of the crowd that allows it. In this episode, Dr. Jan Kircher breaks down how groupthink, bias, and the need to belong twist ordinary workplaces into systems that protect the bully and punish truth-tellers.
You’ll hear how bystanders learn to rationalize harm, how bias turns cruelty into conviction, and why neutrality is the most dangerous stance of all. This is where the psychology of the crowd meets the sociology of bully culture — and why understanding it is the first step toward breaking it.
