Bad Behavior’ – some results follow*:

‘rudeness in their workplace’, (and didn’t report it)*
- 53% lost work time worrying about an uncivil incident or future
interactions*
- 89% believe incivility is a serious problem in the work place*
- Fortune 1000 executives spend roughly seven weeks per year resolving
employee conflicts.

about $8 million per year

at John’s Hopkins, sites that the U.S. annual heath care related costs,
resulting from ‘incivility at the workplace’, is $3 billion.
Cost of Incivility – On the Road

- 21 states report collecting aggressive driving data
- 10 states report having enacted legislation to legally define
“aggressive” driving
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) lists speeding
and aggressive driving as the third leading contributing factor in traffic fatalities.
- Speeding continues to be cited as a major factor in almost one-third
(31%) of traffic fatalities nationally and is estimated to cost $40 billion
each year.

perpetrator would almost automatically diffuse the escalation resulting from
the rude or careless driving behavior.

continues to be the most pivotal reason for the country's lackluster
educational performance. – Education Week Magazine

course content because of the inordinate time spent managing
behavior in the classroom. – C. Stephen Wallis co-author of Making

Rachel's Challenge
Rachel Scott was the first
person killed at Columbine
High School on April 20,
1999. Her acts of kindness
and compassion coupled
with the contents of her six
diaries have changed the
lives of so many. Her
theory; kindness breeds
kindness.
"Rachel’s Challenge gives
the students the
permission to be kind and
compassionate."
It's programs like Rachel's
Callenge, mojo2Go and
others that will foster the
community of mutual
respect we need to sustain.
