Backstabber Report

Keeping Your Self-Control Against Backstabbers

Here is a golden thread of surviving the backstabber that would have helped many I’ve known through the years. BTW, I hope you know these posts are so friggin’ valuable I should be charging a subscription, but that would just be greedy and not very profitable since I’m a big believer in Karma; What goes around, comes around.

Yelling or open displays of anger are for the short lived. Their gains never outlast the bad impression they create for you. Remember that you may be dealing with a backstabber well honed at their skill. They may want you to yell, or even to threaten them; For you to act like an out-of-control threat to the office. Meanwhile they may take it with looks of bewilderment, confusion, and even fear on their face.

Then they have you. It won’t matter that you can prove everything in your tirade. You lost your temper. You lost control. You are a problem in this day of people walking into an office and killing co-workers because they were wronged.

Understand this completely. Anyone who believes that getting involved in a verbal battle is the way to get ahead, is ignorant. In truth, such actions are irrational and childish. The real source of gain comes from SELF CONTROL. When you master yours you will realize how easy it is to make others lose theirs.

Most important, if you can make your point without emotion while your opponent flies off the handle when you present the knife evidence to the appropriate person, will have won hands down.
