Abstract:
"In Leading with Gratitude, New York Times bestselling authors, the "apostles of appreciation" Chester Elton and Adrian Gostick introduce readers to easy ways to add more gratitude to their work environment"-- Provided by publisher.
Showing gratitude to employees is the easiest, fastest, most inexpensive way to boost performance. It boosts employee engagement, reduces turnover, and leads team members to express more gratitude to one another. Studies have also shown that gratitude is beneficial for those expressing it. Yet few executives effectively utilize this simple tool. Gostick and Elton introduce eight simple ways managers can show employees they are valued, and how successful leaders have successfully incorporated gratitude into their leadership styles. -- adapted from jacket
