    Dear Colleagues,

    How can people influence each other to maintain hope and optimism in this pandemic? Professor Sigal Barsade from the Wharton School has joined the CBA Organizational Wisdom Studio's fourth video-cast episode to address this question by providing insights about emotional contagion in this isolation period. This episode provides a research-based vision and practical insights about how emotions spread among people, how people can prevent negative emotional contagion, how emotional defense mechanisms can influence contagion in a subtle manner, and how people can cultivate positive emotions in this pandemic. Our episode can be seen from this link:
