Someone who is constantly trying to one-up you? I am here to answer your toughest leadership questions in one minute or less. I have an arch nemesis at work. All right, that's an exaggeration, but I do have someone I always seem to be competing with for raises, for the best projects.

1:15I really try to focus on the work itself, but sometimes my competitiveness just takes over. How do I better deal with a peer who always seems to be trying to one-up me? Okay. So one of my favorite quotes, and forgive me because now I'm forgetting who said it, is comparison is the thief of joy. On that note, I'm going to ask that the first thing that you do in this situation, which can be really, really tough, I can completely empathize with you, is to focus on your own lane, right? There's such a thing that's set around like cleaning up your own aisle before you look at somebody else's aisle. So what I want you to do is make sure that what you're doing is actually living up to all of the desired accomplishments, outcomes, objectives of your role before you focus on anybody else.

2:00And if you don't know what those are, then you should ask. OK, that's first. Secondly, I think, you know, there's two ways of looking at competition. Somebody who is working with you, they can either act as intimidation or they can act as motivation. Might you have something to learn from what this person is doing that you can also emulate and use as part of your own repertoire to advance your career? That's the question I'd leave you with.
