Being Thankful to God everyday for what you have, for the incredible and extraordinary attributes you and all the people around inherently posses and how a common vision can pull everything together necessary to accomplish the “impossible.” THE GRATITUDINAL LEADER leads by celebrating each individuals incredible and extra ordinary attributes and understand how together the team can accomplish anything that can be dreamt or thought of with their talents combined with the “Spirit of God.” GRATITUDINAL Leadership leads to three key components: - Serving Others by acknowledging their God Given Gifts and collectively having the power of FAITH - Empowering their God Given Talents for a major cause or audacious goal - Creating New Business models that Create vs Compete - Gratitude Improves Work Performance We’re not the only ones claiming that gratitude makes you a better you! Scientific research shows that gratefulness enhances your organizational and motivating abilities. Grateful mentors turn out to be far better mentors than those who play by strict rules. Moreover, this positive practice tends to improve our patience and decision-making processes by shifting our focus from short-term gratifications to long-term goals. This is particularly important when it comes to work and office culture, as following short-term goals leads to confusion and chaos. On the other hand, focusing on long-term goals gives us more meaning, both in terms of workplace relationships and professional aspirations. Gratitude Improves Work Satisfaction Luckily, positive psychology has made an impact on career development and counseling. That’s why today we have a rich body of empirical research about traits and habits that are related to overall work satisfaction. Recent research from 2015 revealed that gratitude is one of the most important factors that impact people’s sense of meaning at work. Grateful people seem to be the ones who end up “living their life’s purpose”, plus, they’re happier at their workplace. But that’s not all. Implementing gratitude practice at work significantly improves employees’ mental health and reduces their perceived stress and depressive symptoms at work. Gratitude turns out to be a protective factor, improving people’s resilience in all kinds of stressful situations. - About the Author - TEDX SPEAKER, SERIAL ENTREPRENEUR, CEO, FOUNDER, MENTOR AND LEADER BUILDING MORE SUSTAINABLE BUSINESSES.
