Lead with appreciation

Psychological safety is the number one driver of workplace performance. Studies have shown that receiving gratitude from managers and colleagues increases productivity and reduces employer turnover. Transform your workplace with appreciation. Sharing your gratitude for others changes you while bringing out the best in those you appreciate. Build consistent practices that contribute to your mental and emotional health and develops you as a leader.

What you appreciate, appreciates.

Appreciation is the act of recognizing moral beauty in another person. When you see moral virtues and values in someone else, you are cultivating them for that person and for yourself. Your appreciation of the good creates more good, for everyone involved (it appreciates). Leading with Appreciation creates that of which you seek in yourself and others.

Appreciation makes your life richer.

And everyone else’s lives too.

For most of us, maintaining an attitude of gratefulness requires intentionality. If we don’t do anything, we slide into ingratitude, entitlement, and cynicism. Fostering gratitude, appreciative humility, delight and joy is like building a muscle; it requires intention and habit.

  • Bear witness to the gifts of others, which helps those gifts flourish.

  • Recognize the gifts you see in others are a mirror to the same gifts in you.

  • Create more passion and energy in your work and at home

  • Bring out the best in your employees, in their professional and personal lives.

OK, let’s be concrete.

  • According to Google’s massive two year study on team performance, the number one factor in team performance is psychological safety. We become more creative, resilient, motivated, and persistent when we feel safe.

  • According to all the research, gratitude strengthens relationships, improves physical and psychological health, and increases mental strength. We believe appreciation does that for both giver and receiver.

  • 79% of employees leave their jobs because they don’t feel appreciated and remote-work often leaves employees feeling high levels of isolation.

Leadership matters. Culture matters.

“Gratitude is not about a one-time holiday party, day off, or spot bonus…It is about creating a culture of gratitude.” - Aron Ain, CEO of Ultimate Kronos Group
