The authors defined a toxic handler as “a manager who voluntarily shoulders the sadness, frustration, bitterness, and anger that are endemic to organizational life.” In the article, the authors provide further insight into how beneficial these unsung heroes are. “[Great] ideas dry up when people are hurting or when they are focused on organizational dysfunction. It is toxic handlers who frequently step in and absorb others’ pain so that highquality work continues to get done.” The work of the toxic handler is absolutely vital to success when large teams have to collaborate and overcome every obstacle, even those erected unintentionally by the organization. Toxicity is frequent, and deadly to productivity. Peter Frost, author of Toxic Emotions at Work, notes that many organizations and their leaders generate emotional pain, which is a form of toxicity. Some toxicity can demoralize employees, damage performances, and ultimately contaminate the health of the organization. Toxicity often creates the kind of pain that shows up in worker’s diminished sense of selfworth. One or more workers who are depressed or angry can poison team or department morale. Research identifies five specific ways in which the impact of toxic handlers is felt:

They listen empathetically . In essence, they always have time for people who need to talk. In fact, I always told people my door was open, and I meant it. As a result, team members stopped by to chat. Sometimes they needed reassurance, and others just wanted face time. Either way, I was a very good listener. Most important, I would never judge why they came, what was bothering them, or how important it was. All that mattered was it was important enough for them to stop by. Research confirms that being nonjudgmental is critical. 2. They suggest solutions . Compassion is all about helping. Alleviate the pain if you can by listening, but help directly by intervening if that is what it takes. Every minute a professional is cognitively off the air, you are losing partial or full productivity. As a leader, you must address this for the welfare of the team. 3.They work behind the scenes to prevent pain . If you know someone is going to face a situation that is very unpleasant, intervene if doing so makes sense. Preventing a painful situation is better than dealing with the aftermath, so be alert, and be proactive. 4. They carry the confidence of others . To be in this role, you must be absolutely trustworthy. If not, who will ever come to you? And, rest assured, if you violate an individual ’s trust, it will spread. Humans have tremendous survival skills, and one such skill is group members alerting others to danger. Sometimes this is referred to as gossip, but it is how we are wired, and bad news travels fast. Be a confidant. 5. They reframe difficult messages . As just noted, reframing difficult messages is valuable—especially if you work in an organization where a senior leader or the chief executive doesn’t understand the feelings of others. It can keep you busy, but the dividends are high.

11/16/2016 Workplace Optimism | Chandan Lal Patary | Pulse | LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/workplaceoptimismchandanlalpatarypmpcsmcssgb?trk=mpreadercard 2/4 Chinese businesses, Alibaba, the site that brings together consumers, merchants, and thirdparty service providers to sell products to customers around the world, has carved out an optimistic climate for its employees. The company’s CEO, Jack Ma, is known to appeal to people’s aspirations for doing good in the world and not just making a quick buck. While Alibaba’s climate has been characterized as intense, employees are loyal, self motivated, and cheerful. Ma’s leadership style is strategic in nature, as is evidenced by how clear the company’s mission is to employees. In one report from Forbes.com, employees are said to always have the company on their minds. Ma’s style is also relatable. He’s known for spending time with employees to understand their needs and help them feel welcome and wanted. To promote freedom, Ma had all the punch clocks removed, a stellar example of mirroring the climate to cultural practices. In another example showing Ma’s ability to relate to people, he said at a company event, “People don’t believe in dreams anymore.A lot of young people. And we

While it’s too early in the company’s relatively short history to say how profitable Alibaba will become, Ma and his leadership team are building a strong cultural foundation. But they are also creating a climate that inspires people’s loyalty and desire to do their best work. “I always tell myself that we are born here not to work, but to enjoy life. We are here to make things better for one another, and not to work. If you are spending your whole life working, you will certainly regret it.” This sentiment lies at the heart of Jack Ma’s lifestyle. Life is for experiencing the world and helping out other people. If money is your goal, you have to change your mindset. Jack Ma Tagged

11/16/2016 Employee Happiness Index | Chandan Lal Patary | Pulse | LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/employeehappinessindexchandanlalpatarypmpcsmcssgb?trk=mpreadercard 2/4 The author founded a company called Zappos in 1999. Zappos grew from zero sales in 1999 to $1 billion worth of sales in 2009. Hsieh says this success was the result of making customers happy — and he achieved that by making his employees happy. Zappos has a set of 10 core values that the staff created together. They provide the foundation of the company’s culture and are a guide to how to treat customers, suppliers, employees and sales reps in a mindful way. These values include: ✓✓ Creating fun and a little weirdness ✓✓ Being adventurous, creative and openminded ✓✓ Pursuing growth and learning ✓✓ Building a positive team and family spirit ✓✓ Being passionate and determined Happy people show greater activation in the left prefrontal cortex. Happier staff are more productive, creative, take fewer sick days and are more likely to be promoted. So good work doesn’t make you happy but being happy creates good work.

Satisfied are you at WORKPLACE? Published on January 17, 2016 Psychologist Peter Warr has carried out studies on job satisfaction and wellbeing at work for decades. He has identified 10 aspects in which workplaces differ from one another and which directly contribute to employee wellbeing.

Opportunities for personal control 2. Opportunities to use skills 3. Externally generated goals 4. Task variety 5. Clarity (clear expectations and feedback) 6. Adequate pay 7. Workplace safety 8. Supportive supervision 9. Opportunities for interpersonal contact 10. Social rank or position The best offices have all of these qualities. Really good offices have many of them. Warr thinks about work in terms of its emotional content and consequences. He suggests that when these 10 elements are in place, workers will experience more pleasant than unpleasant emotions. Further, some of these aspects of work, such as externally generated goals and task variety, can lead to more arousal, while others, such as safety, can lead to lower arousal of positive emotions.

Interestingly, having too few opportunities for personal control tends to lead to greater depression and lower enthusiasm as opposed to higher anxiety. Thus, it is not just that these 10 elements are the markers of good workplaces, it is that each affects worker wellbeing in a different way. In their book, The Levity Effect, authors Adrian Gostick and Scott Christopher take this latter approach, arguing that levity—humor, laughter, and a light sens of

How do these great companies do it? There are several ways (in fact, Gostick and Christopher list more than 140 of them in their book!). First, your clients can hire fun people. Introducing play and fun can begin with the recruitment interview and can be one of the elements upon which candidates are evaluated. Second, new hires can learn on the first day that the office is fun as opposed to oppressive. They receive these signals from openminded managers, such as Dr. Vic at Zappos, who keeps a throne in his office and photographs employees and guests sitting in it while wearing crowns. Most importantly, however, Gostick and Christopher caution that levity in the workplace is predicated on trust. Before your clients force their employees to play swivel chair soccer they must earn their trust by treating these workers with respect.

11/16/2016 Do you have HAPPY Friends/Colleagues? How YOU will recognize them? | Chandan Lal Patary | Pulse | LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/doyouhavehappyfriendscolleagueshowrecognizechandanlal?trk=mpreadercard 2/8 Research on the subject of wellbeing shows that happy people share several characteristics (Myers, 2000; Diener & Seligman, 2002; Otake, Shimai, & Tanaka Matsumi, 2006; Nisbet,Zelenski, & Murphy, 2011): Happy people have high selfesteem. Particularly in Western cultures, which emphasize the importance of individuality, people who are happy like themselves. They see themselves as more intelligent and better able to get along with others than the average person. In fact, they often hold positive illusions or moderately inflated views of themselves as good, competent, and desirable (Taylor et al., 2000; BoydWilson, McClure, & Walkey, 2004). Happy people have a firm sense of control. They feel more in control of events in their lives, unlike those who feel they are the pawns of others and who experience learned helplessness. Happy individuals are optimistic. Their optimism permits them to persevere at tasks and ultimately to achieve more. In addition, their health is better (Peterson, 2000 ; Efklides & Moraitou, 2013 ). Men and women generally are made happy by the same sorts of activities—but not always. Most of the time, adult men and women achieve the same level of happiness from the same things, such as hanging out with friends. But there are some differences: For example, women get less pleasure from being with their parents than men. The explanation? For women, time spent with their parents more closely resembles work, such as helping them cook or pay the bills. For men, it’s more likely to involve recreational

The result is that men report being slightly happier than women (Kreuger, 2007). Happy people like to be around other people. They tend to be extroverted and have a supportive network of close relationships. --------------------------------------------- Happiness
and other emotions and behaviors are contagious. Happiness is contagious, spreading among friends, neighbors, partners and family. A large study (by Nicholas A. and coauthor James H. Fowler. ) for the first time shows how happiness and other emotions can copy through clusters of people who may not even know each other. We are influenced by the moods of friends of friends, and of friends of friends of friends people up to three degrees of separation away from us who we have never met. You increase the likelihood that you will be happy by being better connected to happy people.

Christakis, a medical sociologist at Harvard Medical School in Boston, who has pioneered much of this work. "You would think that your emotional state would depend on your own choices and actions and experience, but it also depends on the choices and actions and experiences of other people, including people to whom you are not directly connected. Happiness is contagious" said Christakis. When one person in a network became happy, the chances that a friend, sibling, spouse or nextdoor neighbour would become happy increased by between 8% and 34%. The effect continued through three degrees of separation, dropping progressively from about 15% to 10% to about 6%. ============================================== Researchers at Wake Forest University, the University of Nebraska and Washington University in St. Louis found that college students who were more inclined to rate their peers positively—as being trustworthy, nice and emotionally stable—reported greater life satisfaction, less depression, and better grades and test scores. In general, women were more likely to rate others positively than men, although the study did not examine why.

On the other hand, those with negative opinions of others were more apt to be disagreeable, antisocial and narcissistic. “You stand to learn a number of very different things about a person from just observing whether the person describes others positively or not,” says lead author Dustin Wood, an assistant psychology professor. Most surprising, Wood says, was how little those perceptions changed a year later. “The stability of these tendencies means that they may consistently act as a lens that darkens your experience of other people or brightens it,” he says. And therefore, Wood says, your perception of others “may be hard to change.” —Winnie Yu ==================================================== Find them......
