Scenario 1 A brilliant physician-scientist with an international reputation in research displays extreme narcissistic behaviors; staff quitting; those who challenge him are shunned and dismissed; he accepts no responsibility for the problems he causes; resistant to coaching. What do you do? Scenario 2 Your division chief of nephrology asserts his authority to develop new protocols for pediatric kidney transplantation; won’t listen to others, alienates physician colleagues, staff, hospital administration; rejects your coaching and professional help. What do you do? Scenario 3 You had an awful day at work today. You worked for two weeks on an important funding proposal which is going out shortly for a big project. The organization is counting on this project and wants to win it. You had a meeting with your boss today and having gone through the proposal, he completely dismissed it as inadequate, full of confusing remarks and irrelevant. You thought your proposal was well written and was going to stand out from the competition. Your boss is younger than you and seems to have rejected your proposal based on a political motive rather than on a technical merit. Scenario 4 He did it again today! It seems every time you have an audience, and you are talking in a group, your colleague speaks over you and interrupts all the time. He literally steals your story and carries on telling others about it as if you don’t even exist. He is rather loud, and you have found it difficult to compete with him when he talks over you. Besides, you have a calm personality and cannot be bothered to participate in a shouting match in front of others. Nevertheless, his behaviour is really annoying you now. Maybe you should dramatically shout back and show your anger, but you don’t really think that’s the right way to approach it. Scenario 5 You just heard that one of your colleagues has been talking to the management behind your back and has been saying negative things about you. You have always been an exemplary team member and you are passionate about your work. Lately, your colleague seems to think that the only way to go up the ladder is to make you or your role redundant and seems to be on a campaign to ruin you. You are worried about this but are not the type to talk behind people’s back. You feel hopeless but you know you need to do something about it. Scenario 6 As part of a restructuring of the organization, you were asked to relocate to a different branch. This means you need to move to a different city about 200 kilometres away. The alternative is to quit your job, but you don’t want to do that as you are happy in this company. This is proving to be an awkward situation as it means you will probably need to sell your house and will not be able to interact with your friends as often as you do now. You feel you have no other choice but to follow with their plans.
