Success may trigger happiness … can’t say that for sure. But happiness can surely trigger success.
Achor’s research has established that increased happiness leads to a 23% reduction in stress, 39% improvement in health and 31% improvement in productivity. Our brains function significantly better in positive mood than in negative, neutral or stressed.
Happiness therefore leads to increased cognitive function, enhances problem-solving ability, increases memory and retention and develops capability for higher accuracy and more creativity. All these things colkectively give leaders a huge advantage, allowing them to perform at their peak.
Because leadership ultimately drives company’s success by employing positive psychology techniques in the workplace, a business can gain that advantage across the board and see incredible team and company performance … all if the leaders feel happy
