sister. Let's have a real talk, a heart-to-heart.
You know how sometimes, even in the places where we’re supposed to pull each other up, things can get… well, a bit messy?
It’s like that age-old sibling rivalry we’ve all heard about, but it’s not just at home, it’s in our offices, our teams, and it’s turning sister against sister.
When Rivalry Steps into the Workplace
So here’s the thing, when we bring that competitive spirit from our family dinners to our board meetings, it morphs into something darker. It’s no longer about who gets the last piece of chicken but about who gets the next promotion, the recognition, or just the simple nod of approval. And this, my friends, isn’t just rivalry; it’s female relational aggression. Sounds serious, right? Because it is.
It’s about betrayal, backstabbing, and, yes, sometimes it even costs us our jobs.
The Tangled Web of Female Narcissism
Let’s dive a bit deeper, shall we? Imagine, just for a moment, that all this rivalry and aggression is actually rooted in something called female narcissism. It’s a tricky beast. It makes us put our needs, our ambitions, above everything and everyone else. But here’s the kicker, it doesn’t just hurt the people around us; it shakes the very foundations of our corporations and, dare I say, our countries.
