Abstract

Describes the impact of individuals on organizations, specifically, how a person’s emotional state influences the workplace. Uses two case studies to demonstrate how an emotionally healthy person has a positive impact on empowerment and creativity, and how an emotionally negative person impedes creativity and disempowers others.
