Lead with Empathy

Gratitude is an important quality for leaders to cultivate in themselves. Being thankful improves self-control and decision-making because gratitude is connected with humility. Leaders operating from gratitude are more engaged and innovative. Rather than blaming or becoming defensive, fearful, or avoiding, they listen better and are more open and accepting. Their behavior also becomes one of natural curiosity, making them generally more creative in their collaborative problem-solving efforts. Showing gratitude in the workplace is particularly important during times of change, precisely because change can’t be done alone. Leaders must display sensitivity to their people’s needs, and emotional intelligence is closely linked to leadership effectiveness. Gratitude breeds employee engagement, and positive interactions, and builds resistance. What’s more, gratitude helps you acknowledge your accomplishments. Thankfulness encourages you to focus on your successes. Stay Curious....
