If you’re the kind of person who shares credit, helps others, and always plays by the rules, you probably believe that fairness will be rewarded. But what if your commitment to fairness is actually costing you influence, opportunity, and respect-especially when others aren’t playing by the same rules? This is what no one tells you when you’re the only one playing fair: the real game isn’t about changing who you are, but about understanding the dynamics at play. When you start to see these patterns, you gain clarity about why some people rise and others remain invisible, regardless of merit. In this episode I guide you through three of the most common power plays that can be used against someone playing fair- forewarned is forearmed. Let me know what you think.
