Workplace infighting, or has your boss abused your trust?<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201eA te f\u0151n\u00f6k\u00f6d is vissza\u00e9lt m\u00e1r a bizalmaddal?\" \u2013 hangzott el a k\u00e9rd\u00e9s Melind\u00e1t\u00f3l az els\u0151 coaching \u00fcl\u00e9s\u00fcnk\u00f6n. \u00c9s val\u00f3ban, ez lehet egy logikus gondolat, mert sok multinacion\u00e1lis nagyv\u00e1llalatban, de m\u00e9g a hazai v\u00e1llalatokn\u00e1l is igen gyakori a Workplace infighting<\/strong>, the infighting, the internal political clashes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Melinda's story: when success makes you a target at work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Melinda's success story was also her trap. Having led in a similarly challenging environment as commercial director of several multinational companies, I knew exactly what she was talking about. A Workplace infighting<\/strong> I have seen many similar cases - successful professionals who have become the target of organisational conflict precisely because of their excellence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Melinda's situation was a classic example of what organisational psychology<\/strong> \u201edupla k\u00f6t\u00e9snek\" nevez. Egyr\u00e9szt a saj\u00e1t szintj\u00e9r\u0151l \u00e9rkeztek t\u00e1mad\u00e1sok \u2013 koll\u00e9g\u00e1k, akik f\u00e9ltett\u00e9k poz\u00edci\u00f3jukat a legsikeresebb csapattag mellett. M\u00e1sr\u00e9szt a vezet\u0151je is saj\u00e1t for domestic policy purposes<\/strong> wanted to use him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eMindig a legsikeresebb voltam abban, amit csin\u00e1ltam\" \u2013 mes\u00e9lte Melinda. \"When you become a target in the workplace<\/strong>, a kiemelked\u0151 sikereid r\u00e9szben adnak n\u00e9mi v\u00e9delmet, m\u00e1s szempontb\u00f3l pedig ann\u00e1l ink\u00e1bb t\u00e1mad\u00e1sok c\u00e9lpontj\u00e1v\u00e1 tesznek.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why do the best performers become targets?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A workplace politics<\/strong> in a world of high performance also means vulnerability. Based on my years of coaching experience, I have identified three main reasons why people start Workplace infighting<\/strong> against successful professionals:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Threat to the status quo<\/strong> Excellent performance challenges the comfort zone of others. In Melinda's case, colleagues feared that her results would raise expectations for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Becoming an instrument<\/strong> A sikeres szakembereket gyakran haszn\u00e1lj\u00e1k fel m\u00e1sok c\u00e9ljaira. Melinda vezet\u0151je tudta, hogy \u0151 a \u201emegb\u00edzhat\u00f3 k\u00e1rtya\", aki nem fogja cserben hagyni a projektet \u2013 m\u00e9g akkor sem, ha ez etik\u00e1tlan helyzetbe sodorja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Envy and jealousy<\/strong> It's human nature to find it hard to tolerate the success of others, especially when it makes our own shortcomings visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coaching to help you survive the job battle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Situation analysis and pattern recognition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The first step is always to leadership self-awareness<\/strong> development<\/a>. Together with Melinda, we mapped the organisational dynamics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
