Manage Resentment or Fail

Emotions make or break business

Effects of Resentment on Work Performance:

• Distorts problem-solving to overkill or underestimation

• Increases error rates

• Deteriorates mental and physical performance, including:
  • Thought-processing and reality-testing
  • Judgement
  • Perception: We hear and see things inaccurately
  • Learning and memory
  • Creativity

Resentment suppresses the immune system, increasing sick leave.  It wreaks havoc in home life, and raises absenteeism and distraction at work.

Resentment:

• Inevitably leads to sub-par performance, sand bagging, backstabbing, subversion, power struggles, sabotage, and sometimes violence.

• Eliminates positive passion (conviction, meaning, intensity of purpose) through compulsion to avenge or punish, which quickly deteriorates into self-righteousness and petty vindictiveness

• Makes us reactaholics.  When other people "push your buttons," you're a powerless reactor rather than a powerful actor.

• Eventually ruins sex life through accumulation of the number one block to intimacy: resentment.  Declining intimate behaviour makes employees more irritable and less cooperative at work.

• Creates power struggles; being "right" becomes more important than efficient production.

• Contagion: Resentment and anger are the most contagious of emotions. If someone comes to work resentful, by afternoon the whole office is resentful.

• Increases the motivation to:
  • Control/neutralise
  • Warn - threaten - intimidate
  • Inflict injury on feelings or body
