Making Positive Moods Go Viral

on Jan 27 in Whiteboard Quick Tips tagged by

We’ve all had the experience of being affected by someone else’s temperament, with bad moods being particularly contagious. A recent study looked at the impact leaders’ moods, both good and bad, have on their followers and found that a leader’s emotions have a profound impact on productivity. When leaders are self-aware and modulate the feelings they demonstrate in the workplace, they create a positive work environment and reap numerous benefits. When they create a negative atmosphere with their attitudes and behaviors, everyone finds themselves working hard. Be a smart leader and let your positive mood go viral.
