Here's more empirical support for Leading People the Black Belt Way. This time, it's from Reuters Health, which reports,
"Poor team spirit at the workplace may do more than drag down morale, it can make people depressed, according to the findings of a new study published in the journal Occupational and Environmental Medicine."
The study also showed an increased risk for anxiety, as well.
So here's how it works.
Emotionally UN-intelligent leaders create emotional disengagement throughout an organization.
Emotional disengagement undermines team spirit.
Poor team spirit makes people depressed and anxious, thus driving up healthcare costs and decreasing productivity.
In these tough economic times, can your organization afford increased costs and decreased productivity?
I thought not.

More Evidence of Employee Emotional Disengagement
This article at CNN.com discusses the impact of 'daylighting' or people working more than one job at the same time.
The article by Ron Dicker states, "Many Americans are squeezing two jobs into one shift -- moonlighting by day, as it were -- as a hedge against a sagging economy or to maintain their style of living."
... and ...
"Shoehorning a second career into the same shift as your primary job is tricky -- and ethically questionable. Some workers do it with the approval of their superiors. But many do it in defiance of company policy (the main reason most "daylighters" interviewed preferred to remain anonymous) frustrating managers and human-resource executives."
As I wrote in my book LEADING PEOPLE THE BLACK BELT WAY: CONQUERING THE FIVE CORE PROBLEMS FACING LEADERS TODAY, research consistently shows that between 70% - 80% of employees are working at far less than peak capacity because they are emotionally disengaged from their jobs.
The culprit? The epidemic of poor leadership across corporate cultures.
As long as leaders continue to ignore the emotional impact of their emotionally unintelligent leadership processes, daylighting will continue, erroding the emotional connection of employees even more.
