at the level of emotional tone that you feel if you're the leader or even just a member of this team that is committed to it, you want to keep that tone at the most productive level because if it dips below or above, that can sabotage how well you perform. And there's a lot of research on that.

an earlier part of our conversation when people experience strong emotions are often motivated to share those emotions with other people. That often takes the form of vocalizing them and that can elicit contagion throughout. And so now we're beginning to actually understand how the emotional processes are making their way through people, groups, and societies.

And trying to understand where those emotions are coming from is often a really great first step.
