In a recent study, undergraduate student “leaders” had to pick who they wanted to work with in an exercise. Their choices were based both on results from a mental-ability test and a questionnaire measuring positive and negative feelings and emotions.

First impressions are part of the way managers find the right employee for the job and for assignments
Positive people get more choice assignments and more flexibility in their work
