According to Shawn Achor, Harvard researcher and author of The Happiness Advantage, optimistic sales people outperform their pessimistic counterparts by up to 37%. Doctors with a positive mindset are 50% more accurate when making diagnoses than those who are negative. Some companies aim to boost productivity by investing in their employees' general happiness.
