“This is a most timely publication! Though the media, and action groups like the Me-Too Movement, examples of abusive supervision at the highest levels of federal, state, and local government have come to light. With no organizational policy in place or complete understanding in human resource departments or active training for supervisors, employee complaints go unnoticed, unrecognized, and dismissed, leaving the victim alone to fend off the attacks or leave the organization. If left unchecked, turnover increases and the organization and its mission suffer. James G. Caillier brings much needed clarity to definition of abusive supervision, suggests possible corrective actions and exposes the implications for turning a blind eye to the need for change.”
