Ever notice the leaders you’re most attracted to tend to be the most grateful?
At least that’s true for me.
Grateful leaders make the best leaders.
And yet being in leadership can make you ungrateful … quickly.
You feel a pressure few others feel. You have responsibilities that will never fit into a job description.
You carry a weight around with you wherever you go.
It can wear you down.
One of the disciplines I’ve had as a leader is learning how to become grateful and stay grateful.
Sometimes the best way for me to do that is to remind myself why grateful leaders make the best leaders.
Here are five reasons why that’s true.
1. Your overall gratitude impacts your overall attitude
A grateful leader tends to be a great leader. An ungrateful leader, well, never is.
I find when my gratitude is high, I just lead better.
I’m kinder. I’m more compassionate. I’m less resentful. I’m less suspicious.
Your overall gratitude impacts your overall attitude. So be grateful.
