The point of leadership, the very point of leadership is balancing that equation of those six chemicals.
Leadership balances and optimizes everyone else in the company for their chemistry so they stay together and are highly productive.
The research coming out says that you get a 30% to 50% productivity increase when you implement this equation correctly.
If the equation is not implemented correctly, either bankruptcy or massive turnover rate, one or the other.
I think it's not just getting worse.
I think it's what's been informing our corporate growth culture over the last 110 years.
Avoidantly attached people become the highest performers.
They build companies, they give jobs to other people.
They get a bad rap for being unemotional, but they actually provide so much optimization and so much wellbeing for other human beings around them.
We need them during difficult times.
So
with the rise of industrialization and corporate culture they built a lot of that but a lot of it was then informed by people who don't understand what oxytocin or vasopressin bonding feels like they are very robotic they are non-sentimental they don't care much about family or connection in that regard they care about family like humans but they don't have the empathetic connection of intimacy
So then they be corporate cultures that is work yourself to death and at least leave your family some money.
That's what they're really focusing on.
And that's the corporate culture.
If you aren't willing to give everything for this company and die for this company, then you're not the person who's right for this position.
It's here's paid time off because we have to follow the law.
But if you take it, you are betraying the trust of this company.
It's the American corporate culture, and it's been crafted by avoidantly attached people at the top.
And yes, it's also now getting worse and people are burning out on it.
