Are all bullies narcissists and are all narcissists bullies?

I was recently asked if ‘narcissism’ was becoming an epidemic and I regularly field calls where someone tells me their boss is a bully.

Narcissists are: People who have an excessive admiration of themselves

Bullies are: People who habitually seek out someone to harm or intimidate because of their vulnerability

?Q: So, are all bullies narcissists and are all narcissists bullies?

A: Sort of, sometimes, often, mostly

?Know that, if you have either of these personalities in your life, at home or at work, you will be stressed; you will be miserable; you will be confused and you will be at a loss to know what to do about the situation.

?I’ve been working with 2 sectors where the employees are minimized, taunted and bullied by bosses, clients and client’s families. So I decided to run this 2 x part webinar to give people tools and strategies to deal with such stressful situations because there are degrees of being obnoxious: some people are just naturally grumpy; some people seem to enjoy being unpleasant; some seem determined to turn every conversation into an argument and then there are the bullies and the narcissists.??

?Bullying is absolutely not OK. There’s no place for it in our workplaces or at home!
