She seems to form sub-groups and uses such strategies to get closer to power centers, which has disturbed the harmony of our previously united team. This situation is affecting my peace of mind, and I find myself overthinking it. How should one deal with such colleagues who spread negativity and create divisions within a team?
This is not uncommon in a company setup. There are always rotten apples that spoil the lot by their excessive ambition. Thinking about them infects us with the same disease. Instead, one should go on doing one’s work well as usual, oppose her plans by strengthening the harmony even better. The best way to deal with these forces and persons is to remain unmoved inwardly or at least indifference. These forces draw strength from our reactions. When they notice that the person or persons towards whom their ill will is directed is not affected, then they become automatically weak and fizzle out.
Affectionately,
