Shift the focus from individual achievements to team success. Establish shared goals that require everyone’s input, which builds a sense of unity and purpose.

Firstly, identify the root of the power struggle. From my experience they are the byproduct of: 1. Leadership Void: In the absence of leadership someone will try to establish roles and expectations. 2. Unclear Communication: If the message delivered is not the messaged received, the 'water-cooler talk' will create division. 3. Imposter Syndrome: Self-reflection, are you projecting or is it real? If you solve these collaboration and productivity take care of themselves.

1. Encourage open communication: Create a safe space for team members to share ideas, concerns, and feedback openly. 2. Clarify roles and responsibilities: Define clear roles and expectations to reduce ambiguity and prevent conflicts over authority. 3. Foster shared goals: Align everyone around common objectives to promote collaboration and minimize competition.

Everyone needs an outlet for the extra effort they put in. Clear roles and responsibilities are needed, but this is a good problem to have as it means someone feels they are ready for more responsibility. Make sure your roles are clear, but steer the extra energy towards a shared goal that helps move the ball down the court for everyone
