A data-backed cheat code you’ll wish you knew 10 years ago:
It’s called the Spillover Effect.
If you’re an employee, it should change:
• where you work
• who you work with
• how much you earn across your career
If you’re an employer, it raises the stakes for hiring, and firing…
Kellogg Insight did a study across 58,000 hours in 11 companies.
This is what they found:
Positive Spillover:
If you sit within 25ft of a high performer, your performance increases by 15%.
Translated financially, if you make $100k a year, you start making 115k.
You are no smarter, you work no harder… and you're 15% better.
Plus, highest performers are not impacted by the low performance of their neighbors.
The strong always lift up the weak.
Negative Spillover:
But if you sit near a low performer… Things get bad fast.
How they define “low performer” in the study is important:
These are “toxic workers.”
A “toxic” person = someone who ends up being fired for their behavior/performance.
On average:
• A toxic worker costs a company $12,800
• 2% of all workers are toxic
• They infect FAST.
And actually – the poison of a toxic worker spans way beyond 25ft:
Researchers said, “You can see their negative imprint and negative effect across an entire floor.”
Now, most people are not toxic.
Unfortunately, most people are not top performers, either…
Most are B players. Middle of the road, just skating by, diligent but not driven types of workers…
2 takeaways here for you:
1. Surround yourself with top performers. It's the cheat code to personal improvement.
2. Toxicity will poison you. Cut it off before you give it the chance.
12 "If, then" algorithms that will change your life:
1. If you're pursuing a goal, then avoid telling people. It releases cheap dopamine and tricks your brain into thinking you've already achieved it (lowering motivation). Move in silence.
What to study, and how to study it, are more important than where to study it and for how long.
The best teachers are on the Internet.
The best books, and the best peers, are on the Internet.
The tools for learning are abundant. It is the desire to learn that’s scarce. —@naval
