After many years of rolling in the system, I deeply observed the complexity and subtlety of the interpersonal relationship within the unit. Everyone is playing a different role, guessing their respective expectations and purposes. Among them, the line between leaders, colleagues, and supporters constitutes a colorful picture.

1. leadership: why are you afraid of being too good?

Within the system, the role of leadership is often complex and changeable. They are both mentors, evaluators, and resource allocators. The reason why leaders are afraid that employees will perform too well and have multiple reasons behind their backs.

The first is the desire for power. Leadership has a certain amount of unit Power and influence, If employees perform too well, it is easy to threaten the status of leadership. To maintain Authority and control, Leadership may have certain ⁇ and concerns about employee performance.

The second is resource allocation. Within the unit, resources are limited, and leadership is usually Master the right to allocate resources. If an employee performs too well, the leader may worry that the employee will occupy too many resources, resulting in other employees not getting the support and development opportunities they deserve.

2. colleague: why do you want to be unlucky?

Interpersonal relationships between colleagues are often more complicated. In daily work, there is both cooperation and competition among colleagues. When a colleague performs well, it is easy to trigger the jealousy and dissatisfaction of other colleagues.

The first is psychological imbalance.

Within the system, between employees' Status and treatment, there are often certain differences. When a colleague gets the favor and promotion of leadership because of his outstanding performance, other colleagues may feel a psychological imbalance and think that he is also working hard without getting the return he deserves. This psychological imbalance can easily be transformed into jealousy and hostility towards outstanding colleagues.

The second is competitive pressure.

Within the unit, Opportunities for promotion and promotion are limited. When a colleague performs well, it means that he/she is more likely to get these opportunities, thereby putting competitive pressure on other colleagues.

To reduce their competitive pressure, some colleagues may choose to suppress or squeeze out outstanding colleagues.

The last is the influence of interpersonal relationships.

Within the system, The importance of interpersonal customs is self-evident. If a colleague is close to the leadership relationship or is favored by the leader, it is easy to cause jealousy and dissatisfaction among other colleagues.

This dissatisfaction may affect the level of cooperation and trust between colleagues and even lead to divisions and contradictions within the team.
