That\u2019s why kids under that age are much more accepting of Santa Claus. Kids already struggle with testing what\u2019s real or not, and then reality television is advertised as being real.\u201d This is a problem, according to Nancy Molitor, PhD, a clinical psychologist and assistant professor of clinical psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, because kids often become desensitized to what they are seeing. \u201cThere is this appeal to these shows that comes down to making people feel superior to others,\u201d Molitor told Healthline. \u201cYou see contestants being laughed at, rejected, voted off, made fun of. And watching these shows makes kids feel superior as well. It\u2019s reinforcing all kinds of negative behavior that we don\u2019t want to see in our kids, including relational aggression.\u201d Today we are going to discuss 2 shows that distort reality and are creating a selfish  employee culture What show\u2019s motto is outwit, outlast, outplay? Is this the mentality we want for our employees or leaders? How about this one recently posted on twitter \u201cIf you don't have haters, you're not doing something right.\u201d Do you want employees walking in the door of your company thinking this is an appropriate way to behave.   Unfortunately what we believe is reality is actually somewhat scripted to drive emotional responses.   As leaders we must notice the signs of unhealthy behaviors and actions within our organization. You need team players, focused on team goals to grow exceptional companies.  Do not let your company fall into the trap of reality tv.
