THE PQ TIPPING POINT: 75

In chapter 1, I cited many research studies that showed the link between PQ and the happiness and performance of individuals and teams. Now let’s look at the evidence from some of the most prominent researchers in the field that points to the existence of an important tipping point for PQ.

Please note that different researchers used different methods of measuring and tracking positivity and negativity, although their results were highly consistent. In addition, these researchers have typically reported their results as a ratio of positive/negative, such as 3:1. I have taken the liberty of presenting those ratios as percentages in order to stay consistent with the PQ format. For example, I have translated a positive/negative ratio of 3/1 into a PQ equivalent of 75 (3 positive to 1 negative means positivity 75 percent of the time).

In one of the most thorough and impressive research projects in this field, Marcial Losada studied sixty management teams, closely observing the interactions of the various team members. The teams were placed into Low-Performance, Medium-Performance, and High-Performance categories based on objective data that included profitability and customer satisfaction scores. While other dimensions were also measured and compared, the positivity/negativity ratio proved to be the most dramatic differentiator of the three performance categories (See figure 15).
