Sinopse

Office Rivalries explores the complex role of workplace competition in modern organizations, moving beyond simple notions of "good" or "bad." It examines how competition, a key element of organizational behavior, impacts employee motivation, productivity, and corporate culture, drawing from psychology and management theory. The book highlights that while competition can drive performance, it may also corrode collaboration, especially when it becomes toxic. Interestingly, the type of competition—individual versus team-based—significantly shapes employee behavior and organizational success. 

 
The book begins by establishing a theoretical context, including concepts like social comparison theory. Progressing through four parts, it defines different types of rivalries, explores motivational aspects, investigates cultural dimensions, and synthesizes research for practical strategies. 

 
Through case studies and empirical research, Office Rivalries provides practical insights for managers and employees to navigate workplace competition effectively, emphasizing a balance between healthy competition and mitigating negative consequences, ultimately fostering a fair, transparent, and ethical environment.

**12 Hidden Psychological Biases Working Against Your Career Goals in Your Office**
This is not a book about Racial or Gender bias. This is about something more.. 12 Hidden Psychological Biases, right at your workplace, right in front of you.. day-in & day-out!
Corporates spend millions of dollars every year to train their managers against biases prevalent in their workplaces. But as a new entrant or a mid-senior level employee you cannot simply hope for these trainings to instill a better sense in your colleagues and managers. For the sake of your own careers be aware of all the hidden psychological aspects that may be working against your career goals in office.
A Corporate office is full of psychological biases, many not even as prominent or evident as racial or gender bias. Often, we don't even realize that we are a victim of these psychological biases from our managers, until it’s too late. By then, we have either lost out on an interview or have received not-so-great annual performance rating. Awareness is the best cure to navigate through these psychologically complex situations and achieve career success.
The 'Theory of Corporate Mind' originates from a well-known psychological concept called 'Theory of Mind'. Theory of Mind defines the basic ability of human brain to understand and mirror others' perspective. Although this ability originates at a very young age, the adult workforce entering the corporate world doesn't seem to be utilizing this cognitive ability to its advantage.
Do not underestimate the power of these 12 hidden biases. They may have already costed you a lot in your career. Be Aware!

Purposeful Empathy - Tapping Our...

PhD Anita Nowak, Muhammad Yunus

Empathy has never been more important, yet we're living in an era of a massive empathy deficit. At the same time, workplace culture has changed dramatically. Leaders, who have already been stretched to the limit, are now being called on to create and nurture genuine connection, psychological safety, and well-being across their organizations—all while adapting to the values of a new generation that won't compromise on diversity, equity, and inclusion. 
 
 
 
As this book shows, human beings are wired to care, and we can become more empathic with practice. Empathy increases dopamine, reduces stress, boosts self-esteem, heightens the immune system, and enriches our relationships. Empathy also improves business key performance indicators. This means that leveraging empathy on purpose can lead to better health, happier and more productive workplaces, and a more meaningful life. That's why empathy is our superpower. 
 
 
 
Through inspiring stories; interviews with experts, including business leaders, neuroscientists, activists, social entrepreneurs, and spiritual leaders; a new model rooted in positive psychology and coaching; and self-development exercises at the end of each chapter, Purposeful Empathy offers wisdom and practical advice to foster personal, organizational, and social transformation.
