Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others.
Cicero (106 BC - 43 BC

Leaders appreciate others
They make it a priority to do so.
They think of others more than they think of themselves
That's what makes them leaders.

LEADER'S REALITY CHECK
How often do you truly appreciate others' contributions?
How often do you tell folks you appreciate their efforts?
Do you have "An attitude of gratitude?"

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
You will motivate others by appreciating them
Showing gratitude is easy
Although most don't do it
Your leadership will shine by showing gratitude, regularly

Gratitude is the most exquisite form of courtesy.
Jacques Maritain

SO, WHAT WILL YOU DO DIFFERENTLY?
Take time, at the end of the day, to consciously appreciate peoples' contributions
Write a note, or send an email, at least daily, appreciating someone or something
Start a Gratitude Journal

It's a sign of mediocrity when you demonstrate gratitude with moderation.
Roberto Benigni (1952 - ), in Newsweek

Let's not be mediocre!
