U.S. experts found that the pressure on women is not only from money, children, and marital stressors. Colleagues turned out to be the largest hidden sources of stress of women.
Florida psychotherapist Linda • Dole said that many women think that in the workplace, the greatest pressure comes from the boss. In fact, the one with longest time to get along with your are co-workers. The pressure from the colleagues is far greater than the pressure from the boss.
This view accurately reveal the situation of women in the workplace. Women are facing the dual pressures from the leaders and colleagues. With the increase of corporate culture of 'respect' the pressure from colleagues has been greater than the pressure of leadership.
This phenomenon results from three reasons, first of all, prolonged exposure to colleagues, who is the one most understanding your strengths and weaknesses. Your heart will generate extreme sense of insecurity on these "old colleague"
Secondly, women have more obvious psychological comparisons than men. And comparisons means care, while care will lead to pressures. Colleagues, whose work is confirmed by the leadership, who the leadership like more, these men do not care but are often the focus of attention of women.
Finally, colleagues are at the same level of relations. So they will produce competition in every respect, where there is pressure of competition. On the one hand, colleagues should be in "harmony"; on the other hand, they need to compete with each other, and the balance is hard to maintain. Poor balance results in pressure.
In view of this, in order to balance good relations with colleagues, the first to confirm a sense of self worth, knowing their strengths and weaknesses; Second, women need to develop a good "career development plan," clear their objectives then they will not worry about the gain and loss for the moment; Third, change competition into power, then we can win.
