Years ago, when he was a bank officer in training, a senior vice president walked up to him and said, <em>\u201cI know we don\u2019t get to talk much, but I wanted to thank you for bringing such a creative spirit to he workplace. It\u2019s important to shake things up a bit.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Until then, my client had been worrying about whether he was going too far, whether he was making suggestions and trying things that made his colleagues uncomfortable. But that bank executive\u2019s expression of gratitude washed away his doubt and set him up for a successful career of innovation and thought leadership.<\/p>\n<p>Expressing gratitude is really the art of noticing, noticing what others do and how it affects you. Yes, our co-workers sometimes cause problems, but the vast majority of what our colleagues do helps us and helps the company. By putting more emphasis on leading with an attitude of gratitude, we can build confidence in others, improve productivity, foster innovation and develop positive relationships at work.<\/p>\n<p>Here are five tips for leading through gratitude.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Combine gratitude and feedback.\u00a0<\/strong>Providing employees with frequent, specific feedback is a critical teaching and management tool. Prefacing feedback with <em>\u201cI want to thank you for&#8230;\u201d<\/em> is even more powerful and builds trust and camaraderie.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be specific and authentic.\u00a0<\/strong>For gratitude to be believable\u00a0and effective, it needs to be true. Effective leaders take time to notice the many ways in which employees make sacrifices and contribute to the team. Then, they offer specific thanks. <em>\u201cThank you for staying late every night this week and making our Friday deadline,\u201d<\/em> not <em>\u201cThanks for working hard.\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>Make gratitude intentional and routine.\u00a0<\/strong>Some managers are so focused on gratitude that they keep a daily log. Even if it\u2019s not every day, take time regularly to reflect on each team member, list the person\u2019s finest qualities and achievements, and make a note of how that person has positively affected you.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make gratitude either intimate or public (but not casual).<\/strong>\u00a0If you\u2019re taking time to notice the good work your team is doing, don\u2019t waste that effort with a casual \u201cthank you.\u201d Depending on the situation, either sit down and express your gratitude during a calm, private moment or make your <em>\u201cthank you\u201d<\/em> a moment of public acknowledge in front of your team.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t forget about notes,\u00a0handwritten, please.\u00a0<\/strong>While e-mails and texts might be convenient, most are easily brushed aside. But the occasional handwritten note can make a big and lasting impression on employees and superiors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There\u2019s nothing wrong with pointing out areas in which people can improve, that\u2019s another important part of leadership, but almost everyone prefers managers who lead from a position of gratitude. After all, who likes to have their faults highlighted and strengths ignored?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>______________________________<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\">DO YOU WANT TO IMPROVE THE PERFORMANCE IN YOUR ORGANISATION?
