What if success didn’t have to be a competition?
In this episode of Work Unscripted, host Marlo Lyons sits down with Ruchika Malhotra, global inclusion strategist and author of the upcoming book Uncompete (Penguin Random House, releasing November 4). Together, they explore how the culture of competition in corporate life fuels burnout, bias, and exclusion, and learn how redefining success can help us build more collaborative, fulfilling, and joyful workplaces.
Ruchika shares practical steps for shifting from a scarcity mindset to one of abundance, how leaders can address competition on their teams, and why choosing joy is a radical act of resistance in a competitive workplace.
If you’ve ever felt stuck chasing someone else’s definition of success, or you’re a leader looking to build a more equitable and collaborative culture, this conversation is your permission slip to uncompete.
