What is your score on the Losada ratio survey? And What could you do to increase the levels of positive emotion you experience in your leadership and personal contexts?
My score for the Losada positivity ratio was 4. The lowest positive emotion scores were in the “amused, fun-loving, silly” and “awe, wonder, amazement” areas for the particular day I took the test.
To increase these I could look at making some more time in my day to be humorous or watch/listen to something fun on the internet or with my work mates. Also perhaps spend some more time appreciating beauty in the world a bit more…. stopping to smell the roses so to speak on a more regular basis.

I gave to the Tsunami relief fund and encouraged others to do the same through the use of social media tools.
I felt that it was a good cause and I knew I if syndicated it out to my social networks many others would give to the cause too… over $10,000 was raised as a result.
A fellow student shared his work with me.
I took time to get to know a fellow student who I ended up helping out by introducing him to my companies CEO for him to do a report. He has since trusted me enough to share his report with me and we are also looking to share some study workload for the upcoming MGMT208 exam.
