When work teams flourish, productivity increases
University of Texas at AustinWhy are some work teams happier and more productive than others? Because their members agree to interact in ways that promote well-being in themselves and others, says James Ritchie-Dunham, clinical associate professor of strategy at Texas McCombs.
Ritchie-Dunham is co-lead of the Leadership for Flourishing project, an ongoing study of well-being in the workplace across 59 countries, and a lead author for the Global Flourishing Study, an interdisciplinary, five-year initiative to survey over 200,000 people across 22 countries and 1 territory on six continents. The study is now gathering a third wave of data. Nature Portfolio published dozens of papers on the first wave in April.
Based on the first two data sets, Ritchie-Dunham discusses what flourishing looks like on the job and what managers can do to foster it.

Childhood affluence and adversity affect kids’ chances to become leaders, Concordia study shows
Concordia UniversityChildren from affluent families are more likely to grow up to occupy formal leadership positions by their mid-20s than those from families facing adversity, a new Concordia-led study shows.
However, the pathways to professional success for each group are significantly different. Affluent children are more likely to benefit from job opportunities through family or friendship connections. They can also build up their careers thanks to a persistent level of support throughout their lives.
Children in adverse circumstances often lack those support structures. More importantly, they encounter additional barriers that can limit their professional opportunities, such as chronic stress and limited access to developmental resources.
