Negativity: The Silent Saboteur of Success

by

Power and politics, like two sides of a coin, are intrinsic to any organisational structure. Approaching them with disdain or suspicion can unknowingly activate a self-sabotage mechanism.
Negative attitudes not only restrict one's ability to influence but also diminish trust among peers and superiors. Instead of building bridges, walls are erected, hindering effective communication and collaboration.
Over time, these barriers can become insurmountable, isolating individuals and derailing their career trajectory.
In the intricate dance of politics, a negative stance is a misstep that can lead to a tumble from grace.

Shadows of Doubt: The Unseen Impact of Disbelief

by

We often underestimate the ripple effect our doubts cast on others. When we subtly (or overtly) signal that we believe someone is wrong, it not only creates a defensive barrier but also fosters feelings of invalidation.
These unspoken judgements can erode trust and sever the very ties that bind us in collaboration.
Recognising the profound impact of our internal sceptic is the first step in building bridges rather than walls, and ensuring our interactions are rooted in respect and understanding.
