Dysfunctional organizations result from individual behavior and the cultures they develop. Many individuals have directly experienced some form of dysfunctional behavior, including trauma from nonfatal workplace violence, bullying, harassment, violence, and unsafe work practices. These and other unacceptable workplace behaviors pose significant problems in organizations.

Psychological safety deals with these behaviors and prevents organizations from becoming dysfunctional. It may not be "the" way to prevent dysfunctions, but it certainly is "a" way. This book uses simple and direct words to describe forms of behavior that are obstacles to developing psychological safety. It then provides practical guidance for what can and should be done to remove those obstacles.

A unique framework (V-REEL) enables a better understanding of how and why behaviors are associated with dysfunctional organizations. It indicates the value of having psychologically, psychosocially, and physically safe workplaces. Its use helps the reader to carefully identify factors that erode or chip away safe workplaces as well as factors that enable or help to create them.

Industry Reviews
"The V-REEL (R) framework provides an overarching model addressing dysfunction in organizations and is a creative and useful application that pulls together the factors to both diagnose and treat dysfunctions." - David Flint, author of Think Beyond Value: Building Strategy to Win "This is a valuable addition to our understanding of organizations and their successful management." - Arthur G. Bedeian, Boyd Professor Emeritus at Louisiana State University and A&M College "This book should be a required class for managers and owners." - Steve Nemeth, Realtor - Broker RE/MAXOne
