turn competition
into collaboration.

Why do some teams get stronger as people succeed, while others quietly lose trust and collaboration despite exceptional talent? The answer lives in emotional dynamics leaders rarely see.

Dr. Alena Prikhidko — professor, practicing therapist, and author of De-Villainizing Envy — on how social comparison shapes motivation, culture, and performance, and how to turn competition into fuel instead of conflict.
