Stop the merry go around … I wanna to get off
Understanding how the drama triangle is impacting your leadership and business
Have you noticed how often we complain about drama, to only be caught up in the next drama filled situation a moment later.
Drama feeds our ego.
We get caught up in the emotion and all too easily find ourselves slipping into roles, which if we calmly contemplated might be otherwise unacceptable to us.
From CEOs, administrative staff to Boards of Directors, we all have the same tendency to unconsciously engage in and even create drama. These interactions and dynamics can make us feel important. For some it might bolster a own sense of importance, power, control, or soothe our feelings of shame and accountability as we relinquish responsibility for ourselves by embracing victimhood. Sometimes drama is our ‘normal’: the environment in which we feel most safe and confident.
We manifest this dynamic– in different ways and with differing levels of frequency — in every aspect of our lives — personally and professionally.
Over two decades of leading global and domestic corporate, government and social gain organisations, I have learnt that our workplaces are some of the most drama filled spaces in our life.
