"Bullies' expectations may also change constantly, without warning, yet employees are still, somehow, required to recognize and meet those expectations. While bullies may be motivated by an array of needs, one that they, by definition, all share is the need to control others, whether by verbal abuse, physical actions or some combination of the two."

—The communication level is totally nonverbal.

"Typically lacking sympathy for the problems of others, bullies often do not even recognize that others have problems, so wrapped up are they in their own concerns. Often short-tempered and angry, they tend to impute to others the hostility and aggressiveness they themselves feel."
