Thankfulness and Leadership

By Michael | November 19, 2009

“Of all the “attitudes” we can acquire, surely the attitude of gratitude is the most important and by far the most life-changing.”. 
-Zig Ziglar

 

Can you believe Thanksgiving is next week?  Kicking off the holiday season is wonderful and chaotic, but we also need to be aware that it can also be very stressful.  This year has been difficult for many of us and it’s not always easy to feel appreciative and thankful. As leaders we may even have had to eliminate positions and terminate employees. 
 
Despite the negatives in our life, it’s important to take the time to reflect on what is positive in our life. -      How’s our home life?
-      Do we have good business and personal relationships?
-      Are we healthy?  Is our family healthy?
-      Are we in a position to influence others and add value?
-      Are we appreciated by others?
-      Are we appreciative of those we work (and play) with?        Do we let them know that?

If you’ve been fortunate enough to have things go well for you, consider your friends, family or co-workers that have been negatively impacted in the job market or by the economic conditions.  Let others know how they add value to your life, and as John Hersey says:                       

 ”Thankfulness breeds success”.
 
Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving and much success!
 
Sincerely,

Michael W. Kublin and Jan Mayer-Rodriguez

Excerpts from The Business Journal, John Hersey Intl. Web, author John Hersey
 
Great leadership shares a common trait: thankfulness.
 
Leaders express the simple act of being thankful for their life, family, friends, business, colleagues, employees and country not only transforming their life, but it also changes everyone they come in contact with over the course of the day.
 
Even leaders have been guilty of allowing the busyness of the day to divert their thinking to the bottom line, making a profit and expanding the businesses. It’s no surprise that the words busyness and business are so closely related in meaning and spelling.
 
But leaders take time to be thankful for all they have and for all of those around them Being appreciative for the bountiful riches we all have produces a certain warm feeling that others pick up on. It’s contagious. Great leaders have this aura of thankfulness and appreciation. 

 Thankfulness breeds success.

Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation.”  
Brian Tracy

“Executive coaches report steady demand for their services despite the recession. Individual and corporate clients say the one-on-one counseling is critical for career success, especially during tough economic times”.
