The question requires detailed explanation. There are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/journals\/psychology\/articles\/10.3389\/fpsyg.2021.726973\/full\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">scientific studies<\/a> published about it, in addition, it can also be summarised as follows:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">There are teasing and bullying teams. Teasing and bullying are group activities. Teasing is spontaneous behaviour, goes back and forth, is sometimes not fun, but has a social learning effect. Bullying is different. In bullying behaviour, a group targets one person for an extended period of time. There is no escape for the bullied person. Bullying is harmful and also occurs regularly in adult teams.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Team4Teams joins a 'no blame' approach in which tackling bullying is based on the idea that <strong>it's the team's turn<\/strong> to regain job satisfaction is launched.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Bullying in the workplace is a taboo subject. Things get locked down. That alone is hugely damaging to an organisation. But once it takes place, <strong>there is much to gain.<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-2540242691 {\n  font-size: 0.8rem;\n  text-align: center;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-481395358\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1102643153\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_168119884\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"333\" src=\"https:\/\/www.team4teams.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025-Pesten-Plagen4-SvS-hoe-ziet-een-pestende-groep-er-uit-5d.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"What does a bullying group look like?\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.team4teams.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025-Pesten-Plagen4-SvS-hoe-ziet-een-pestende-groep-er-uit-5d.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.team4teams.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025-Pesten-Plagen4-SvS-hoe-ziet-een-pestende-groep-er-uit-5d-800x266.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.team4teams.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025-Pesten-Plagen4-SvS-hoe-ziet-een-pestende-groep-er-uit-5d-768x256.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.team4teams.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025-Pesten-Plagen4-SvS-hoe-ziet-een-pestende-groep-er-uit-5d-18x6.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_168119884 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-2063419793\" class=\"col medium-2 small-12 large-2\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1519213267\" class=\"col medium-8 small-12 large-8\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<p>A bullying group need not inevitably be a final outcome; nor does it have to remain a taboo subject, but can act as an impetus to take action.<\/p>\n<p>And yet,<\/p>\n<p>in all situations, someone is needed who will have to take up the gauntlet with a positive goal in mind, better results and a positive connection:<\/p>\n<p>with <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.team4teams.nl\/en\/team-development\/\">team development<\/a> <\/strong>(and attention to organisational culture),<br \/>\nusually picked up by a director, CEO, or initiated by the SB, and\/or hrm.<br \/>\nwith <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.team4teams.nl\/en\/team-training\/#onze-trainingen\">team training<\/a> <\/strong>(focusing on skills),<br \/>\nusually picked up by a management team, team manager or initiated by a trustee and hrm.<br \/>\nwith <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.team4teams.nl\/en\/team-building\/#teambuilding-met-reflectie\">teambuilding<\/a> <\/strong>(not too heavy, with a growth-oriented approach)<br \/>\nusually picked up by a team leader or initiated by team members or hrm.<\/p>\n<p>A works council, co-determination council, or in the care and education sector a client or parents' council also sometimes occupies a key position.<\/p>\n<p>Putting the team first and focusing on positive team growth and better results.<\/p>\n<p>Below, we approach the taboo by focusing on the structure of a bullying group, always with prospects of an approach.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_1825551125 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n  padding-bottom: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n\t<section class=\"section\" id=\"section_1295485498\">\n\t\t<div class=\"section-bg fill\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content relative\">\n\t\t\t\n<span class=\"scroll-to\" data-label=\"Scroll to: #structuur\" data-bullet=\"true\" data-link=\"#structuur\" data-title=\"De structuur van een pestende groep\" ><a name=\"structuur\"><\/a><\/span>\n<div class=\"row align-center\"  id=\"row-1824361532\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-941508276\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner text-center\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<h2>Background information on the structure of a bullying group<\/h2>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_1295485498 {\n  padding-top: 0px;\n  padding-bottom: 0px;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #section_1295485498 {\n    padding-top: 30px;\n    padding-bottom: 30px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-1263875628\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-946057470\" class=\"col medium-5 small-12 large-5\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<h3>What does a bullying group look like?<\/h3>\n<p>In a team under pressure, a hierarchical order emerges. Power differentials emerge.<br \/>\nOnce this creates a negative mindset and the problems get bigger, common goals fall out of the picture. People come to oppose each other. Then, if no correction takes place, the team is likely to assign blame. Someone is blamed for the pain everyone feels. People start 'playing the man'.<\/p>\n<p>What follows is a surviving power play with, in the end, purely losers. In a so called bullying group, this general negative process - where power and influence are at stake - has resulted in 'winners' and (future) losers.<\/p>\n<h4>What bystanders see<\/h4>\n<p>If you ask bystanders what they see, they usually mention three roles: the bully, the followers and the victim (the scapegoat, the bullied). Sometimes they also see the team members watching silently. If one later asks the victim which of these three roles was the worst, it is often that of the silent ones:<em>\u00a0'I had nowhere to go, everyone was laughing at me, I felt completely isolated'.<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-701197425\" class=\"col medium-7 small-12 large-7\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1218538759\">\n\t\t<a class=\"image-lightbox lightbox-gallery\" title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.team4teams.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pestendeGroep-Team4Teams-volwassenen-2018-web-6.jpg\">\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"546\" src=\"https:\/\/www.team4teams.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pestendeGroep-Team4Teams-volwassenen-2018-web-6.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"What does a bullying group look like?\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.team4teams.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pestendeGroep-Team4Teams-volwassenen-2018-web-6.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.team4teams.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pestendeGroep-Team4Teams-volwassenen-2018-web-6-600x321.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.team4teams.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pestendeGroep-Team4Teams-volwassenen-2018-web-6-748x400.jpg 748w, https:\/\/www.team4teams.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pestendeGroep-Team4Teams-volwassenen-2018-web-6-768x411.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1218538759 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<p><em>Click image to enlarge...<\/em><\/p>\n<h4><em>No blame<\/em> approach<\/h4>\n<p>Team4Teams' team coaches use a '<em>no blame<\/em> approach'. The first thinking step in this is that people are OK, but sometimes behaviour is not. So we do not talk about a 'bully', but about 'bullying behaviour'. Actively supporting respectful behaviour is central. The focus is shifted from looking back ('Who is guilty here?') to looking forward ('What behaviour do you desire?'). The central question is how behaviour (that was once positive) can become positive again.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes a period of cooling down is needed, where people no longer feed the antagonisms. Sometimes so much resistance has developed for each other (the working relationship is 'broken') that team members first need to build new trust. Naming undesirable behaviour, and asking for positive behaviour, becomes possible once everyone is respected as a team member and valuable employee.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n<span class=\"scroll-to\" data-label=\"Scroll to: #oorzaken\" data-bullet=\"true\" data-link=\"#oorzaken\" data-title=\"Oorzaken negatieve groepsdruk\" ><a name=\"oorzaken\"><\/a><\/span>\n\n\t<section class=\"section\" id=\"section_387059275\">\n\t\t<div class=\"section-bg fill\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content relative\">\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-2003701397\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-2077272358\" class=\"col medium-5 small-12 large-5\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<h3>What causes negative peer pressure?<\/h3>\n<p>Behind the active disrespectful behaviour is vote buying. Getting a picture of who is guilty of this is essential. Evil speaking, intrigue, instigation: it puts pressure on everyone. The victim often has no idea how and by whom the group is pressurised to act so negatively.<\/p>\n<p>Outwardly reporting what is happening ('snitching', ringing bells) will damage someone's position in the team. Because everyone gets involved in this negative group process and no one wants to be a victim themselves, it is increasingly difficult to break the spell. In the long run, no one believes it can be done at all. Absenteeism, burnout, suicide: the process can fester with which it also becomes visible outside the team. And everyone knows it: this team is no longer functioning... Harmful for everyone, not just the victim and hugely damaging for the organisation.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-234740256\" class=\"col medium-7 small-12 large-7\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1575633528\">\n\t\t<a class=\"image-lightbox lightbox-gallery\" title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.team4teams.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pestendeGroep-Team4Teams-volwassenen-2018-web-5.jpg\">\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"748\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.team4teams.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pestendeGroep-Team4Teams-volwassenen-2018-web-5-748x400.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.team4teams.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pestendeGroep-Team4Teams-volwassenen-2018-web-5-748x400.jpg 748w, https:\/\/www.team4teams.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pestendeGroep-Team4Teams-volwassenen-2018-web-5-600x321.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.team4teams.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pestendeGroep-Team4Teams-volwassenen-2018-web-5-768x411.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.team4teams.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pestendeGroep-Team4Teams-volwassenen-2018-web-5.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 748px) 100vw, 748px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1575633528 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div id=\"gap-311988762\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-311988762 {\n  padding-top: 20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<h3>Where is the 'pin'?<\/h3>\n<p>A team with a gruff, demanding chief is in a different situation from a team where reorganisation is imminent. A group in which jealousy plays a role requires a different approach than one in which there is a struggle for power and influence. If there is unhealthy competition between employees (e.g. fighting for bonuses), this requires a different approach than a team in which there is a cultural difference, racism, or sexual harassment.<\/p>\n<p>A team coach looks for the 'pin' that is piercing the soul of the team and causing the pain. That 'pin' has to come out.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_387059275 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n  padding-bottom: 30px;\n  background-color: #FAFAF8;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n<span class=\"scroll-to\" data-label=\"Scroll to: #negatieve-groep\" data-bullet=\"true\" data-link=\"#negatieve-groep\" data-title=\"Hoe ziet een negatieve groep eruit?\" ><a name=\"negatieve-groep\"><\/a><\/span>\n\n\t<section class=\"section\" id=\"section_865987266\">\n\t\t<div class=\"section-bg fill\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content relative\">\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-591098379\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-620583727\" class=\"col medium-5 small-12 large-5\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<h3>Positive openings in a bullying group<\/h3>\n<p>There are also positive openings in a team with bullying. Team members who show courage and dare to be vulnerable can transform a group from a survivor setting to a healthy, collaborative situation. In natural leadership, good contact with each team member is important. Identifying what the deficits are and what is needed to reduce pressure is a key focus and can thus become a positive opening.<\/p>\n<p>In a team with an exclusionary attitude, nobody actually functions optimally anymore. Addressing team members on what is not going well is obvious, but it reinforces the negative exclusionary spiral. From 'excluding', a team will have to find openings to 'include' again. To then be able to see everyone's talents again. Paying attention to what does go well is another positive opening.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1500860881\" class=\"col medium-7 small-12 large-7\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1124719314\">\n\t\t<a class=\"image-lightbox lightbox-gallery\" title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.team4teams.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pestendeGroep-Team4Teams-volwassenen-2018-web-4.jpg\">\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"748\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.team4teams.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pestendeGroep-Team4Teams-volwassenen-2018-web-4-748x400.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"Those who look closely in a bullying group also see potential positive roles\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.team4teams.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pestendeGroep-Team4Teams-volwassenen-2018-web-4-748x400.jpg 748w, https:\/\/www.team4teams.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pestendeGroep-Team4Teams-volwassenen-2018-web-4-600x321.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.team4teams.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pestendeGroep-Team4Teams-volwassenen-2018-web-4-768x411.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.team4teams.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pestendeGroep-Team4Teams-volwassenen-2018-web-4.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 748px) 100vw, 748px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1124719314 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div id=\"gap-1869245343\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-1869245343 {\n  padding-top: 18px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<h4>Desire as a beacon<\/h4>\n<p>A team coach will support team members who collectively want to help build a better working atmosphere.

Yet the person filling this role needs to be seen, and asked to start contributing positively. Engage in conversation, ask for his or her help to become a collaborative group. Teach each other what helps in doing so.  Stopping bullying is the right way forward, but it is not enough. Practising new positive behaviour and persevering is the message.
