When Tough Management Turns Toxic

Two-thirds of Malaysians say they or their families have faced bullying, and the workplace is emerging as one of its main battlegrounds. From cutting remarks and silent exclusion to the growing shadow of digital abuse, we explore what bullying looks like behind corporate smiles. Joined by Ipsos Malaysia’s Sawu Fang Kuan and organisational psychologist Hetal Doshi, we examine why so many victims stay silent, and what real leadership looks like in creating safer, kinder workplaces.
