How often do you take time to stop and be grateful for what you have achieved? Gratitude can make the difference between stress and success, boost your wellbeing and take your leadership skills to the next level.
CEOs who practice gratitude are more creative and solution-oriented. They are more resilient, build stronger relationships and stay more focused in crises.
Integrating gratitude into everyday business:
1. Keep a gratitude journal: write down three things you are grateful for every day - professionally or personally. This little exercise will change the way you look at your circumstances.
2. Show appreciation: thank your team for their efforts. A simple “thank you” can lead to greater satisfaction and loyalty as well as increased productivity.
3. Change of perspective: consciously look for the positive aspects even in difficult moments. This promotes an optimistic attitude, enables creative solutions and strengthens your ability to deal with stress.
4. Establish rituals: Start meetings or the day with a short reflection on what is going well, creating a positive atmosphere.
