Competing Be Loyal You could work together for shared success.

Complaining Listen Understand situations/others before dismissing them.

Contending Say You’re Sorry When you are wrong…admit it, and apologize.

Comparing Do Small acts of Kindness Instead of comparing, you could help others to be their best, rather than putting them lower on the “Totem Poll”

Criticising Set Clear Expectations Help show others what they need to do in a positive way.

What are you doing for others?”
