This book investigates and expose the  rise of  bullying and workplace violence worldwide in the form of the Workplace Hyena. Using metaphor and clever word-smithing, the natural hyena is humorously applied to its corporate counterpart. Behaviour like bullying, physical or emotional abuse, is the discourse of restructuring and changes in the workplace. This behaviour may cost the organization money, creativity and losing the competitive edge - leaving a "trail of angst", stress and depression.

You will soon be able to relate your personal work experiences and colleagues you have had the (mis)fortune to encounter in your professional life, to the hyena typologies so vividly described in these pages. Who has not encountered the Hyenas (and their Protégés—the Squeezas), Power Hyenas, Laughing and Quiet Hyenas, the Competitive Hyenas, Halo Hyenas, Incompetent Hyenas and Impimpi’s like Den Creeper and Shit-stirrer Hyenas to name only some of the denizens at work.

This book can also be recommended for its therapeutic value to the reader who has been the victim of the workplace shenanigans such as colleagues, supervisors and/or management or even devious subordinates. It will assist the reader in assessing his or her corporate environment for its propensity to expose one to the risk of falling prey to Workplace Hyenas. But most importantly this book has as its ultimate aim to make workers “Hyenawise” by empowering them to take responsibility and not to allow the Workplace Hyena to derail their legitimate career aspirations.

A “must read” for targets or victims Workplace Hyenas, Wellness Professionals and Managers.
