How Mentoring Helps Debunk the Myth of Female Workplace Rivalry

Workplace rivalry can appear in many circumstances, but one of the most commonly perceived dynamics is between women. You might feel like you sometimes need to compete with other women to achieve a particular position in your workplace, but that isn't true.Women need more representation in top positions in the workplace.
