Nice News calls kindness, “The overlooked key to high performance at work.” Similarly, we’ve written about it here, as an effective and rewarding behavior. And we also uses Kindership™ as a process in leadership development.
From the article:
“UCLA sociologist Giovanni Rossi and a team of collaborators from universities in Australia, Ecuador, Germany, the Netherlands, and the U.K. discovered that individuals signal a need for low-stakes assistance roughly every 2 minutes. And when these small moments arise, people comply with the requests for aid more often than they decline, according to a press release issued by UCLA.”
…
“Rossi added that the findings point to helpfulness being ingrained in humans around the world. ‘While cultural variation comes into play for special occasions and high-cost exchange, when we zoom in on the micro level of social interaction, cultural difference mostly goes away, and our species’ tendency to give help when needed becomes universally visible.'”
