Is it really your fight? It seems like a no-brainer, but we often get caught up in the struggles of others. Diego Vicente, Professor of Leadership at IE Business School, proposes that we ask ourselves a question: is what you are pursuing what really interests you or is it envy that moves you? "Often we confuse our personal objective with the personal objective of the other and we are dragged by other interests that are not strictly professional".
Healthily pursue your goal. Periodically review your strategy to analyze if what you are doing is doing it because it brings you closer to your goal or simply to make your rival smaller. If the answer to the second case is yes, modify your action plan. The moment you let your emotions surface, you will lose sight of objectivity and rationality. "If what you do is play against, trying to trip him up or magnify his mistakes, you will fall into an insane and ultimately harmful strategy, because you will be more aware of other people's affairs than your own", confirms Luis Cuenca, professor of Directorate of Human Resources of EAE.
Is it the kind of power you want to achieve? Analyze what kind of situations are occurring in the company. If it is a company in which manipulation, rumors, and slander prevail, you should assess whether you are interested in participating in this game. Keep in mind that if you achieve your goal with bad arts, you will always be afraid that others will do the same to you.
If you decide, fight without fear. Behind a power struggle there is always fear: to lose a position, a status, self-esteem. And fear by definition is a dangerous advisor. Both because it prompts you to commit desperate acts and because it can make you lose the fight. As Joep Schrijvers insists in The Rat Strategy: “Whoever is afraid of the consequences puts himself at a disadvantage. If you are afraid of losing, you have already lost ”.
