For gallup, if a person is below 4 today and in the future, they are considered to be in a state of distress. Above 7 today and 8 in the future, gallup considers it to be a state of prosperity.

Discoveries like this have particularly impacted organizations and their management styles, as it is clear that emotionally connected employees work harder and better, are more innovative and are less inclined to quit their jobs. Despite this, few leaders know how to deal with this issue well. And one of the central elements in building this emotional connection is focusing on the positive aspects of people's personalities.

This movement was captured by george gallup in 1950 when he began research to discover and understand who the happiest people in the united states were, foreshadowing important studies on well-being and the state of the workplace around the world.
