The article discusses the concept of "positive relational energy" as described by Dr. Judith Orloff, contrasting it with the idea of energy vampires who drain your vitality. Research from Harvard and the University of Michigan indicates that effective leaders embody this energy, impacting those around them profoundly. Positive relational energy is characterized by emotional presence, genuine care, and encouragement, extending beyond workplace relationships to personal ones. By embracing values like kindness and empathy, individuals can foster more energetic, loving connections backed by neuroscience, making it essential for healthy relationships.
Basically, the Sunday School values you may have learned about growing up-kindness, honesty, empathy, forgiveness, humility-are now backed by real neuroscience and behavioral science.
The most impactful leaders were positive energizers - people who leave others feeling uplifted, motivated, and more engaged just by being around them.
