SMILE: A BUSINESS SECRET

A research by Yale University says that cheerfulness and warmth spread most easily among working groups than irritability and depression. This greater diffusion rate for good moods has direct implications for business results. The research also says that mood inadvertently influence how effectively people work. Happy moods boost fairness, cooperation and business performance.

There is something called open-loop nature of the limbic system. Humans rely on connections with other people for their emotional stability. This open-loop limbic system helps to foster this stability. Laughter demonstrates the power of the open-loop in operation. Hearing laughter, we automatically smile or laugh too, creating a spontaneous chain reaction in a group.

Smile has an irresistible power to make others smile in return. Smiles and laughter plays important role to cement alliances. Laughing represents the shortest distance between two people. It has been proved that good moods create a good work.

The bad mood such as rudeness or anger is the opposite of good mood and it is bad for the business too. Business is benefited by upbeat (happy) moods. A good leader is the one who is able to pitch a group into an enthusiastic, cooperative mood which will ultimately determine the success of the group.
