About this listen
The need to compete is deeply ingrained in every aspect of our lives and work. It’s often viewed as a positive: we are told it motivates us to do our best, to work hard, that it drives innovation and excellence. But, what if that’s a lie? What if in reality, competition causes more harm than good: exhaustion, anxiety, burnout, and an isolating lack of community. It encourages a scarcity mindset and keeps us from reaching our true potential.
Drawing on Ruchika’s own experiences working with corporations as a sought-after inclusion strategist, as well as interviews from business and community leaders and the latest research data, UNCOMPETE offers a new framework for building a culture of collaboration, solidarity, and mutuality. It’s a framework that yields not only a happier workplace, but a far more successful one, and it can transform our work and our lives. From showing us how to tap into our benign envy, to investigate our cultural norms, to cultivate a greater imagination, and rewrite the rules to lift everyone up, UNCOMPETE is a radical reset of our mindsets. It helps us cultivate abundance, find genuine joy in others’ victories, and embody the belief that there is room for all of us to succeed.
Uncompete is a practical and thoughtful book on how we define (and redefine) success. Ruchika challenges the myth that competition automatically drives excellence, offering a clear, usable framework built on an abundance mindset and collaboration.
I’d highly recommend it for leaders, and for anyone feeling worn down by scarcity thinking at work, and in life more broadly. The book is engaging and packed with practical suggestions for all of us.
