Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• Everyone on my team is quietly playing for their own scoreboard
• My progress lives buried in some spreadsheet I never open, so day to day I genuinely have no idea whether I’m winning or losing on this goal
• I measure myself purely by the scoreboard
• I’m always measuring myself against whoever’s ahead of me, and it’s crushing
• One bad day and I spiral, treating it like proof I’m failing
