Many many executives do not believe happiness improves productivity and in fact many believe it reduces it.
Specifically midwesterner’s who think pain is honor and grit vs a waste of energy and distraction.
- smcin 2y agoInteresting comment, is there any quantitative study or data corroborating regional attitudes in the US?
- tsunamifury 2y agoNo obviously not
- smcin 2y agoAnecdotally, do you find it tends to be true?
- tsunamifury 2y agoYea it's pretty common in the Midwestern owners mindset. They see pain as a motivator and a grit builder. It's what commonly limits the midwest from building advanced tech these days IMO. They simply don't value building a 'better life' and enjoy the power structure as it is.
