This is called The Spillover Effect. The original study had 2 main findings. Kellogg Insight did a study across 58,000 hours in 11 companies. They found "positive spillover" & "negative spillover." 1) Positive Spillover If you sit within 25ft of a HIGH performer, your performance increases by 15%. You...

Why are they being toxic tho? Do they need help? More training? A different job opportunity? Stuff going on at home? Should we figure that out or just fire them to keep the bottom line green

this is so true! Even in competition. I found when I competed against people above my skill level, I wanted to show up & represent if I came in as a heavy favorite, the lower competition also lowered my standards of my own performance- a powerful lesson Awesome post ✨📈🫡

So this is basically the law of attraction to some extent. Very interesting study.

Always surround yourself with people smarter than you

I think most of us have observed the toxic effect first hand. This is so important for managers and leaders to get a handle on.

The people you surround yourself with have a gravitational pull. Make sure they pull you up instead of down.

Spillover is why most tech startups require in-person. IT's not because they hate remote. It's because your unicorns pump your normies.

I wish more people understood this. I worked with a lot of different teams before learning you peers are either a catalyst or a sedative. 1. An environment of high standards breaks sedative people's habits. 2. Talent density is measured by the level of catalyst within a team.

Being around toxic workers is like trying to stay dry in a flood. You might survive, but everything around you gets drenched.

Some millennials have been working for 20 years and are still confused by corporate 😂 For those who are still in the dark let me fill you in. Your performance doesn't matter. Your performance review doesn't matter. Your compensation has been set by a budget committee a year ago. You are not "overachieving" anything. Management has a fixed pool of money to pay the people they manage so they can give them raises less than inflation. If they give you more money, they have to give someone else less money. It's a zero-sum game. Managers actually have a larger pool of money to hire new employees because corporations recognize that new hires need to be incentivized to come over. They won't just leave their company for the same money. If you've been at the same company for 5 years you are underpaid. If you've been at the same company for 10 years you are paid less than a new hire at a competitor. Loyalty doesn't matter because there is no reason for a company to voluntarily pay you more money. Corporations already know that over 95% of employees will not go anywhere and will take whatever they get. Even if that's nothing. There's no reason to pay everybody more money when only a tiny percentage of workers will leave. Even if you leave... (remember over 95% of employees will not) ... the corporation will distribute the work you were doing among all your coworkers. And they will take on the extra work. And they will stay. For nothing. Because in addition to a salary, what an employee wants is to not have to look for a new job. That's all the want. They don't want to move anywhere. And companies know it, and they will take advantage of that. Now you know! You're welcome.

Unfortunately, "protective bubbles" are almost entirely a marketing myth. Where you place an air purifier in a room in relation to yourself has almost no effect on how much protection it grants you. Air is a fluid, and fluids mix constantly with the slightest movement. It's like trying to make a "cream only" bubble in your coffee while you're stirring. Only in a room, people are the spoon. This is easy to verify with even a cheap particle counter. Take a measurement with an air purifier across the room, take a measurement with it next to you- it will be almost identical. The measurement will remain almost identical until you are a few centimeters from the air purifier's output. People feel a breeze from a purifier blowing on their face, so they think they are protected, but with the exception of some very specialized units like the Air Fanta Wear, there is almost no localized effect- it's all CADR per room, not CADR per cm away from you. Here's a CFD model with an air purifier in various locations and the relation to particle count in the breathing box (inhalation zone) of a room occupant. In short, it doesn't matter if you have a lot of CADR close to the performer, just how many CADR in the room. Big air purifiers on stage are mostly for feels and vibes. The data just does not support it. It's too much air, mixing too quickly for a localized effect. A particle counter near the performer and in the audience will show almost the same number.

There exists a diseased & sick corporate structure in this country, even in the corporatised media industry. It hides behind the grandeur of fancy glass towers, corporate parties & business class travel. It is as feudal, if not more, as the society outside. Policies professing equality exist. But they can be tweaked to suit a caste system. A corporate caste system. And it is loaded against the young and the talented. It believes in the average. It nurtures a food chain of the insecure. 10 bosses will sit and identify a problem. The junior-most will be expected to come up with solutions. The ecosystem of below-average work ethic and talent ensures that no person can pursue their dreams. Eventually the talented perish. This toxic corporate ecosystem will speak a lot, but say little. We all know how the mediocres love to exhibit the cockroach instinct. Sick corporate structures are full of such dehumanised souls. In every adverse situation, a boardroom full of people will ideate on how to damage control, which will often involve fixing the external and never the internal. To all the youngsters with dreams, who suffer the indignity of below-average, insecure seniors, someone who will dump all the work on you and then throw you under the bus, someone who will make you feel small about your dreams, someone who will fill you up with self-doubt using negative reinforcement… to all those young dreamers - live on. And judge. Judge your average boss. Judge the average boss of your boss who put him there. Judge the whole system. In the hope of finding someone good, just like you.

Yes, indeed, this is lawlessness by any standard. Even by banana republic standards, this is still lawlessness. Your country has a constitution, it has a government, it has a police service, and it has a ruling party. I am sure you can see that some of the people there are actually wearing ruling party T-shirts. It is lawless regardless of whoever does it. It is an embarrassment to South Africa as a country, what you are doing and what you are encouraging people to do. Your country has an immigration service. If people are in your country illegally, they should be arrested and deported through lawful processes. You do not go around destroying property, tearing down markets, and attacking people. It is illegal regardless of whoever does it. It is not illegal because I have said so. It is illegal because the laws of your country make it so. This is vigilantism, pure and simple, and it is tainting the reputation of South Africa, not only across Africa but across the world. If you have got satellite television in your home, you can see that these actions are being reported everywhere. It is not good for your country. This kind of barbarism undermines the rule of law, fuels division, and damages South Africa’s standing as a constitutional democracy. It is the actions of a few that are tainting the reputation of many. The average South African is not mindless like this. They respect the law, and they respect the fact that among them, in their communities, there are people from other countries. If those people are in the country illegally, you report them and the law takes its course through proper processes of arrest and deportation. You do not descend into mob justice, lawlessness, and destruction. That is not who South Africans are, and it must not be normalised.
