How to combat the Backstabber at Work without losing your Dignity

This post has already been read 2302 times!

 

You will find politics in any situation where there are a group of people striving for a particular reward. The problem really starts when one of the players begins to play dirty.

The reason for this depends a lot on the individual or the situation. Maybe the person is ambitious and feels that the only way to get to the top is to eliminate competition. This is very much like the Killer personality in Game Mechanics.

It may be the nature of the person to gossip and reveal information shared in confidence. They try to show that they are in the know.

Unfortunately, even the best of professionals can get drawn into this dirty game. It isn’t just to get ahead of their competitors. This also happens when their organization is downsizing and they are scared of losing their jobs.

Their primitive survival instincts kick in and they do what they have to do.

It doesn’t bother them that it might mean hurting a colleague who is not playing the game.

I believe the world would be a better place if high achieving professionals accepted setbacks and challenges to their careers as Wake Up Calls to embark on a Journey where their empowered course correcting actions create a New World Order that encompasses achieving their career aspirations & potential with authentic life balance.

If you’re a driven, passionate, talented and ambitious professional  who’s hit a speed breaker in your business or career and want to create your desired breakthrough to reclaim control of your situation, then you’ve come to the right place because we can work together on customized strategies and tactics that deliver results.

When my clients first reach out to me, they are not in a very happy place, needing clarity about themselves, their desires, chosen vocation and what will give them peace of mind. They are drawn to me for the very reasons that I highlight in Who Is Karmic Ally Coaching.

Lack of recognition at work, inability to project themselves with confidence and frustration are just some of their professional problems that are playing havoc with other areas of their life. They know they need to take radical steps to change the status quo but they also know they need support and accountability to get them their desired result.

I really get it, because I’ve experienced that dark night of the Soul. I know firsthand the outcome of getting lost in my work rationalizing decisions that were detrimental to other aspects of my life.

Like you, I’ve struggled with and won battles of stress management, corporate politics, life balance and career decisions to emerge in a place where I can confidently say that I live my desired life according to my personal Manifesto and have created a business that provides me with a platform for my desired lifestyle and self-expression for myself. I want that for you too!
