 Is someone jealous of you?
Use these principles to refocus your reaction
Jealousy undermines your productivity, state of well being and can even impact your health.
When we believe someone else is jealous of us, we want to keep these important "to-do's" in mind:
Do:
- Manage your own reaction to the behavior first
- Practice emotional detachment so the person's behaviors don't bother you as much
- Spend time trying to get to know the person and better understand what motivates him
Don't:
- Assume that it is all about the other person - you likely play some part
- Commiserate with others who could be unfairly influenced by your negativity or may judge you for your complaints
- Give feedback unless you can focus on work issues and can avoid a personal conflict

Take the time to look at yourself and the role you play in the dynamic.
No man is an island.
Our success lies in our ability to step out of the emotion
and look at the underlying clues that might be at play.
