Editor's Notes
- A wide range of studies support this. One especially helpful paper is “Why Does Affect Matter in Organizations?” published in the Academy of Management Perspectives earlier this year. Authors Sigal Barsade, a Wharton management professor who studies the influence of affect or emotions on the workplace, and Donald Gibson of Fairfield University’s Dolan School of Business, examined how employees’ moods and overall dispositions have an impact on job performance, decision-making, creativity, teamwork and leadership. Leaders’ displays of emotions, they noted, influence followers through emotional contagion: “Positive, upbeat emotions of the leader are emulated by followers, resulting in positive outcomes.” Our state of mind can determine: -Our effectiveness -Our quality of life
- 1. Become aware of your state of mind and use your feelings as your guide to the quality of your thinking. Make a conscious effort to notice where you are on the Mood Elevator. Use your feelings as indicators of the quality of your thought. Don’t let unhealthy thoughts become so normal you don’t notice them. 2. Take better care of yourself. Our physical state plays a role in our thinking. When we get tired and worn down we are more vulnerable to lower-quality thinking and lower moods. 3. Know your thoughts are unreliable when your mood drops. Our thoughts are often unreliable when we are in a lower state of mind. If possible, delay making major decisions until you move a few floors up the elevator. If you can’t wait, try to respond as you would if you were driving on an icy road: use caution and do not overreact. 4. Maintain your perspective through gratitude and a sense of humor. Taking the time to think each day of some things you can be grateful for is a powerful mood tonic. When you have perspective, you can see your momentary problem, challenge or issue in the context of all that you have going for you in life. Humor and lightness help you handle your serious challenges in a better, wiser state of mind. 5. Be aware of your leadership shadow. One reason to be aware of where you are on the Mood Elevator is that moods are contagious. An organization’s culture and climate is most greatly influenced by the shadow of their leaders. The biggest shadow we bring to work each day is our state of mind or mood. It is also the biggest one we carry home at night. That should be food for thought for all of us.
