嘗試與你的工作對手合作

在競爭激烈的組織中，員工承受著不斷超越同事的壓力。關鍵在於爭取最好的任務和有限的晋昇機會。但是這種“健康的競爭”可以創造一種殘酷的文化，並且可能阻礙你從最佳狀態出發。

與其在工作中超越競爭對手，不如考慮與他們合作。交流知識、想法和回饋，讓你和他人可以從對方的成功和失敗中吸取教訓。

例如，如果你對一個項目的處理作法有了强硬的回饋，你可能會想把它留給自己。但如果你與同事分享你從經驗中學到的東西，他們可能會回報並分享同樣有價值的資訊。

當然，開放，會讓自己變得脆弱。競爭對手可能是危險的，你必須知道你能信任誰。但這種合作有助於你和你的同事，更不用說對組織的幫助了。

Try Collaborating with Your Work Rivals
In highly competitive organizations, employees are under constant pressure to outperform their colleagues. At stake are the best assignments and limited promotion opportunities. But this “healthy competition” can create a brutal culture, and may hold you back from performing at your best.

Instead of trying to outdo your competitors at work, consider collaborating with them. Exchange knowledge, ideas, and feedback so that you and others can learn from each other’s successes and failures.

For example, if you got tough feedback about the way you handled a project, you might be tempted to keep it to yourself. But if you share with colleagues what you learned from the experience, they might reciprocate and share equally valuable information.

Of course, opening up — and making yourself vulnerable — to competitors can be risky; you have to know who you can trust. But this kind of collaboration has much to offer you and your colleagues, not to mention the organization.
