Ralph Waldo Emerson as a productivity consultant

This may come as no shock to you but: the world we are living in right now is B-A-N-A-N-A-S but one thing that can get us through this fruit salad we call 2018: kindness. Inc Magazine reports that science (yes SCIENCE!) explicitly proves that being kind to others makes us happier and happy people at work are 12% more productive than unhappy people. So be happier, be more productive, and as a bonus, pass that kindness along to the rest of your team as a better leader!
