Turn Enemies into Allies (#HBRchat)


@UneFrancofille @MikePWeiss re: competition should stay "on the field". Separate professional from personal. #HBRChat



Rivalry is selfish; Your responsibility is to do what's best for your entire team -- not undermine it. #HBRChat




@svsashank : #Agreed. Leaders are obligated to create a culture of professionalism and integrity. #HBRChat





Workplace rivalries can be so destructive, it’s not enough to simply ignore, sidestep, or attempt to contain them. Instead, effective leaders must turn rivals into collaborators—strengthening their positions, their networks, and their careers in the process. In fact, it’s important to think of these relationships not as chronic illnesses you have to endure but as wounds that must be treated in order for you to lead a healthy work life.  





This week's #HBRchat is based on the HBR article "Make Your Enemies Your Allies” by Brian Uzzi and Shannon Dunlap.HBR.org

Q1. Have destructive workplace rivalries affected your career? How?
Q2. How can you redirect a rival’s negative feelings towards you?
Q3. Have you ever had success working with a one-time rival or seen others?
