I've been pushed to grow by various nemesis in the past. I don't enjoy it. It is often a painful process because of they are truly a nemesis, it isn't just friendly competition. You have to watch your back and not assume the best in someone. I hate that, it is against who I am and what I stand for. That out of the way, some of the biggest personal and professional growth I've undergone with my communication skills, playing politics (a necessary evil at times), and even organization and documentation can be traced back to being burned hard and at times by a given nemesis. I'm better at my job and a better person as a result of trying to be the opposite of them and leading by example. If you're going to have a nemesis, at least try to get some value out of it.
