Rather than being produced in a single, large dose, it builds over time, and people\u2019s empathy increases accordingly. This can be discouraging for leaders of organizations because it means supportive environments (and their greater collaboration and innovation) take time to form and become profitable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Sinek says your brain produces oxytocin slowly, but this isn\u2019t true in all situations. Research shows that <a href=\"https:\/\/sitn.hms.harvard.edu\/flash\/2017\/love-actually-science-behind-lust-attraction-companionship\/#:~:text=Like%20dopamine%2C%20oxytocin%20is%20produced%20by%20the%20hypothalamus%20and%20released%20in%20large%20quantities%20during%20sex%2C%20breastfeeding%2C%20and%20childbirth.\">oxytocin is produced immediately in large amounts during childbirth, sex, and breastfeeding.<\/a> However, this doesn\u2019t negate Sinek\u2019s point: These three situations are instances where immediate and strong bonding is very important\u2014if you didn\u2019t immediately <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-bond-with-your-child\/\">bond with your child<\/a> after birth, for example, you may neglect them, which would be bad for the species\u2019 continued survival. As such, humans evolved to produce a large amount of oxytocin in this situation. However, in situations where immediate bonding is less important, like at work, oxytocin takes longer to build.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oxytocin\u2019s slow-building is an evolutionary defense mechanism, Sinek says. For early humanity, trusting the wrong person could result in their death. So, humans evolved to take their time when forming connections, giving them the chance to determine whether the people around them were trustworthy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-oxytocin-more-complex-than-empathy-and-trust\"><strong>Oxytocin: More Complex Than Empathy and Trust?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Simon Sinek, oxytocin is released when you feel empathy, which makes you feel happy and trusting. While this used to be the accepted understanding of how the neurochemical works, experts now know that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psycom.net\/oxytocin\">oxytocin changes its functions depending on your environment.<\/a> If you\u2019re in a safe, low-stress environment with people you have social connections with, oxytocin <em>does <\/em>release positive feelings of happiness and trust. However, if you\u2019re in a high-stress environment or with people with whom you don\u2019t have social connections, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3877159\/#:~:text=While%20historically%20considered%20a%20prosocial%20hormone%2C%20research%20suggests%20oxytocin%20promotes%20both%20positive%20(i.e.%20maternal%20behaviors%2C%20pair%2Dbonding%2C%20altruism%2C%20trust)%20and%20negative%20social%20interactions%20(i.e.%20aggression%2C%20territoriality)%20depending%20on%20the%20context\">oxytocin can increase negative feelings like suspicion and aggression.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scientists posit that this increase in negative feelings is oxytocin\u2019s true defense mechanism: It encourages you to form strong connections through both positive reinforcement\u2014safe feelings when you\u2019re with people you have social connections with\u2014and negative reinforcement\u2014unsafe feelings when you\u2019re with people you don\u2019t have social connections with. These unsafe feelings encourage you to spend less time with people you don\u2019t share social connections with and more time with those you already trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This negative reinforcement can be problematic, as it encourages the formation of sub-groups, where people trust some people in their organization but not others. This leads to in-fighting, competition, and the destruction of supportive environments. You can reduce negative reinforcement by reducing the stressors people experience and emphasizing that they\u2019re all part of a united whole. In addition, simply allowing your team to bond over time can increase positive reinforcement: As strangers gradually become socially connected, oxytocin begins providing more positive than negative reinforcement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What exactly is oxytocin?
