GDP growth, oil prices, and inflation still dominate headlines and captivate leaders’ attention. Yet, absent from leadership dashboards is how people feel. This is why the leaders of today are missing the global rise of worry, stress, sadness, anger, and physical pain. When the leaders of tomorrow are asked, “What indicators do you follow most closely?”–hopefully, many of them will say, “happiness.”
– Jon Clifton
