How to survive competition

To learn how to not only survive in this struggle, but also to win tells Sinkina Eugene, a practicing psychologist.

To begin, let's define what exactly is the competition. If we consider the definition, we see that in many cases it is identified with the competition, that is, between these two words can be put conditional equality. And now, when unfamiliar, frightening word has become a well-known term, we will talk about how to survive in the competition.

Firstly, you need to get rid of fear - this is most important. A man who is afraid may not be adequate to show good results. It is best to treat the competition as a game or competition - then instead of fear will be excitement, which will focus primarily on work, not on personal feelings.

Secondly, it is necessary to clearly define for themselves what resources will be needed to fight and what would be the result. Then relate the strength and energy costs with this result. If they are equal to or greater than the result of the cost, in this case, to join the fight, if not - it is better to abandon it. It is often only think that the competition can not be avoided - and in fact often the workers themselves are driving themselves into the rigid framework of the fight where one would do it again. In fact, because no one is forcing you to have to be the first - the trouble for his own pleasure, and let them fight those who needs it for the prize. If you feel uncomfortable when you need to constantly take the set someone height, just imagine the bar, to strive for which it would be convenient for you, and do everything in your power to achieve it. believe me,

Third, think less about what your colleagues are doing to get around you. Of course, you need to analyze their results. However, this need should not occur more than once every few weeks or months. All the rest of the time given to work, their responsibilities and ensure that they carry out clearly and professionally. If you keep going to look around, you miss a lot of useful time for which could be done a lot of work and to become a leader. Therefore, the competition - the competition, but also on the work, it is desirable not to forget.

Fourth, with the support of loved ones. The psychological factor is very important, remember that sports play a little easier on your stadium than on someone else - through the support of their fans. And in the work - Try to have been people who would have supported even in case of failure, with the understanding to relate to your experiences. This may be one of the family members or friends. But here there is a danger - either by inertia postpone the competition in privacy, or completely bogged down in his home. Therefore, limit the time during which you talk about work or work at home - for example, to half an hour. On the one hand, it allows you to fully speak out, and on the other, do not dwell on it.

Fifth, try to make friends with colleagues. Yes, provided competition to establish friendly relations can be difficult, but it must be done. At least in order not to feel lonely at work. Or that there is one to turn to for help and professional advice. Generally, in any collective relationship with colleagues is necessary to maintain the proper level of friendly, so as not to experience the psychological discomfort. It is much nicer to see around him friends, not enemies.

And finally, the last - play fair. No backroom intrigue or sabotage. Even if once you thus be able to break into the leaders, it does not mean that do not know about your actions of others. Rumors will necessarily and relevant to you may vary. A plot will weave already against you. Not to mention the fact that on a friendly shoulder and help colleagues you can not expect more. Respect yourself, do not do what you would not like to see in relation to itself. Also do not forget that the opponent always honestly won respect.
