Workplace competition is a common thing. Man is a competitive being, often desiring to outdo one's self and others. We all know how hard it is to succeed in a competitive market, and how we’re constantly tempted to seek our own advantage at others’ expense.The pressures of competition are both constructive and dangerous: Constructive in the sense that it encourages excellence, value creation, and accountability to customers but dangerous because it could lead to temptations to cut corners, deceive customers or undermine the work of competitors.
