I saw a lot of bullies during my 45-year work life. Out of curiosity, I extensively downloaded various approaches and wonderful pictures depicting bullies from the internet. The credits do not belong to me but to all those contributors who discussed the topic in open forums on the internet.
Recent threads from Nikhil Gurjar (on Ego to Sophisticated Bully), Kavita Bajaj (Spy in Organization), and contributions from Taj, Octavious, and (Cite Contribution) on these topics almost compelled me to create a presentation on Bullying in Corporate.
This is certainly not advised but a humble attempt. I would be happy if it can help people in some way in understanding the topic.

Thank you, Moin, Kalia, Sharon, and Marathe. Special thanks to Tajsateesh. I remember that the sentence, "How much one can bully you? ..... to the extent you allow," is etched in my mind since my PG Dip. in Management Studies during 1986-88. Prof. John, who used to teach "Human Factor in Management," had elaborated on it. Your connection of it to GEETA is great. I did not realize it, but now comprehend it. Thanks for that. However, your elaborations are always nice. Hence I would welcome if you can elaborate on the GEETA connection further.
One of the reasons for posting it was the Thread 'Spying in Corporate' & Samyak's experience - and the anger she expressed, which was natural. One of my HOD's used to tell us that while delivering a lecture, even if someone tries to provoke you, do not get angry there. That makes one slip the bearing, and performance drops in front of the audience. I learned well that the same is true when tackling bullies.

Thank you for your kind remarks. As I mentioned a couple of days ago in response to a private message to a member, I just 'try' to put the skills HE gave me to 'good' use. I will elaborate on the GEETA connection in a day or two; I would need to sit coolly.
However, this quote is what prompted me to post NOW: "When you think someone has insulted you, ignore it; if you can't ignore it, then top it; if you can't top it, then laugh at it; and if you can't laugh at it, you probably deserve it." I thought it pretty well sums up what you mentioned :-)
