Study
One study of managers showed that leaders totally focused on task are less supportive and nurturing of their teams than other managers. They can be rigid, narrow-minded, and unaccepting of ideas from others. Research suggests a quick fix is oxytocin, also known as the love drug or cuddle hormone, as it is released with a hug or warm social bonding. While a hug might not be appropriate in the workplace, it is something you can certainly try with a loved one. And for those with pets, you have a built-in prescription.
