Principle #11

11. Improved communication: A culture of joy fosters open and honest communication between colleagues, which helps teams work together more effectively and increase work performance.

One way to foster a culture of joy and open and honest communication between colleagues in 2023 is through the use of neuroscience-based strategies. Neuroscientific research has revealed that positive emotions stimulate the brain’s reward system, which increases creativity, problem-solving, and social connection (Fredrickson, 2017). In a meta-analysis of over 600 studies, it was found that positive emotions and experiences can increase work performance by as much as 31% (May et al., 2004). This suggests that a culture of joy can lead to increased creativity, problem-solving, and collaboration in the workplace.

In addition, neuroscientific research has found that positive emotions can lead to an increase in prosocial behavior, such as cooperation, helping, and sharing (Haidt & Keltner, 2009). In a study of over 2,000 participants, it was found that those who experienced positive emotions were more likely to engage in prosocial behavior than those who did not. This suggests that a culture of joy can create a more collaborative and supportive environment, which can lead to open and honest communication between colleagues.

Finally, neuroscientific research has revealed that positive emotions can lead to an increase in trust, which can facilitate more effective communication. In a study of over 1,000 participants, it was found that those who experienced positive emotions were more likely to trust their colleagues than those who did not experience positive emotions (Van Kleef et al., 2009). This suggests that a culture of joy can create an environment of trust, which can lead to more open and honest communication between colleagues.
