Recommendation

Individual employees can dynamically – and intentionally – shift your corporate culture in a positive manner based on their feelings, behaviors, personal magnetism and relationships with their colleagues.

You’ll have the opposite effect if you are depressed and negative.

Understanding human nature makes it clear that individuals create and spread their own culture in multiple contexts: at work, at home and with their friends. This influence mechanism is called “contagion”; people’s moods and attitudes are contagious and infect those around them.

The contagious negative energy a person can create and the destructive impact of a colleague who “shows up” in sour spirits can be costly at the office – and in life.
