In every type of job, there’s an undying craving to compete. We have people in work who are on the same level with us, we have teams who wish to trump out others by being victorious and we have bosses who would want to stay on top of the company’s food chain by delivering better results. Competitions are best done when it wanted to create a working environment full of well-driven people and in the end, yield better results.
They call it ‘healthy’ competition and it have been proven an effective way in harnessing improvement and succeeding expectations when done harmlessly, and if everyone who are in the canopy knows the real deal behind it. But how would one keep his or her cool amidst the pressuring, all too unnerving vibe that a work competition entails? What are the things to be followed and what are the things to better avoid? Would it really make a difference to be prepared? Below are some key takeaways that one must use to be in the zone whenever the big boss schemed something to let you rip your office mates’ throats to win.
Always put the goal first. Be mindful that the competition is null and void if you will not be able to reach what’s expected of you. Prioritize in getting the numbers needed and don’t let go of your vision in delivery rather than just winning. Ensure that you’re on top of things and concentrate on your well-being first.
Just imagine when all of you weren’t able to say, get 5 articles done, what would your superior feel? Yes. The competition is not at all worth it. Direct all your energy and determination in the liking of satisfying not only your boss but yourself. And before you check-up on how others are faring, look at your own backyard first then start digging from there.
Once a goal is established, look at the possibility of profiling your rivals. Rank them accordingly and start from the weakest up to your fiercest competitor. Be aware of their strengths and what areas they need to improve on. Full assessment of what’s surrounding you would do your best to know when and how to attack.
As the famous quote goes, “Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.” Think ahead and surprise them with the knowledge that you categorized by how they work. Aside from the fact that this would help you trump them out easily, this would also benefit you in the long run as you now know who to turn to and who’s just plain decor. Working as smartly as knowing who you’re competing with is as great as being in the know about to expect after all these work games.
While the focus and unshakable motivation are key factors in sealing your win, it is quite essential to maintain a light and fun environment. The utilitarian in you would be exuded if you keep the competition at bay once in a while and put your work mates’ wellness on your priority list as well.
Releasing some tension is such a good way in letting them know that even though you’re all vying for the coveted attention from your bag-shot bosses, you’re still concerned about how the things would go once the contest is off. They would surely admire you for being a sport and being sensitive.
And lastly, always be in the mood to win. No matter how you started the race, the most important thing to note is how you would end it. Always remember that no matter what the outcome might be, be positive enough to think that out of all the efforts divulged, you still earn something from it. Win or lose, be the optimistic one in sorting out mistakes and lessons and all of the things that you can keep for future ventures. Go back to the main point of this workplace competition and that is to instill motivated, well-disciplined and positively driven employees, and be that kind of contestant.
