As you enter your recently promoted colleague's office, you notice a photo of his beautiful family in their new vacation home. He casually adjusts his custom suit and mentions his upcoming speech in Davos. On one hand, you want to feel happy for him and celebrate his successes. On the other, you hope he falls into a crevasse in the Alps. Envy-the distress we feel when others get what we want-is universal. It affects people at all levels, and it can damage your organization's performance by disrupting teams and undermining knowledge sharing. Research demonstrates that people would much rather learn about ideas that come from other companies than from their internal rivals-and that leads to inefficiencies and missed opportunities. But envy harms the person who feels it most of all. When you're obsessed with someone else's success, your self-respect suffers, and you may neglect or even sabotage your own performance and even your career. Though it isn't easy to manage this emotion, it is possible to prevent yourself from being consumed by it and even harness it to your advantage. A few tested techniques can help you recognize destructive thoughts and behaviors and refocus them into more generous, productive ones. With the right managerial approach, you can also tamp down envy on your team.
