Some of us may be surprised when a bully rises in our midst--we may be caught off guard. One way to potentially avoid this is to assess situations with the question, Who is woking for/with me and who not working with me and may be working against me. Sometimes when we're caught off guard, it's because we're naive and don't understand that there will be those who work against you and don't support you.
