A bully is different from someone who is challenging to work with. It's not important what set's off a bully, and you can waste a lot of time trying to figure it out. Everyone is entitled to be in a bad mood, but a bully's behaviour is not only mean and uncomfortable at the moment, it's intended to be destructive (consciously or unconsciously) to those around them. Avoiding setting it off is permitting it to exist and can influence the culture of the entire organization. It needs to be removed, remove it. Or if it's the boss, it's time to leave. Everyone (even the bully) will be better off as a result. Great advice, except for #1. A bully is different from someone who is challenging to work with.
