The Cancer of Corporate America…Do you have it?

Wherever there are people, the disease lurks; waiting to ‘eat at’ it’s next victim.

…I can’t believe that THEY were promoted, everyone knows that THEY are incompetent…

…It’s clear now what is needed to advance in this organization, certainly not drive, dependability, and producing results…

…those were my ideas and presentations that got THEM promoted. It should have been ME…

…of all the Leadership styles to reward, I would have never picked THAT one, Not only do THEY lack Leadership, THEY are a terrible Manager…

I can’t remember where I heard these quotes, but it certainly wasn’t from my experience…

So when this happens to you; what are you feeling?

• Jealousy typically refers to the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that occur when a person believes a valued relationship is being threatened by a rival. This rival may or may not know that he or she is perceived as a threat.
• Envy is a feeling of discontent or covetousness with regard to another’s advantages, success, possessions, etc.
• or BOTH

Knowing what your feeling, is the first step in protecting yourself from the Corporate Cancer that can destroy even the best leaders.

Just like any other corporate problem you have faced in your past, you have to break it down in order to find the root cause so you can begin to apply treatments to the source…

• Have I reached my Peter Principle?
  Discuss with others (It may be your Boss, a Mentor, Pastor, Friend or your Father) just listen to what they say.
• Am I not as valuable as I thought I was?
  Conduct a 360 Review from your current Team and possibly some peers.
• Or was your Boss just Gracious to a Peer, and I’m just Envious?
  Focus on what you do Best, and press on. You didn’t get where you are because your a quitter. If your feeling led to move on, then analyze your situation and decide Should I STAY or Should I GO.

  You certainly have CHOICES…

  I may not know how to conquer this one, but I DO know that it can be fatal if left unchecked.

  Let me know what’s worked for you?
