Primal Teams
Harnessing the Power of Emotions to Fuel Extraordinary Performance
AMACOM, 2014
Aperçu
Many business leaders abhor emotion in the office. But research shows that positive emotion at the team level improves corporate performance.
Recommendation
Powerful, positive emotions spur winning business teams and turbocharge performance, while negative emotions destroy camaraderie and effectiveness. So reports “primal emotions” guru Jackie Barretta, who bases her work-team optimum performance program on research in the fields of neuroscience, psychology, and quantum physics. Barretta’s theories on creating an emotionally energized business environment seem like straightforward common sense, but her suggestions for company game playing and sing-alongs might seem incompatible with today’s hectic workplaces. Nevertheless, Barretta’s concepts and suggestions are valid and sound. getAbstract recommends her approach to team managers seeking to galvanize their staff to achieve peak productivity.
