Summary

It’s hard to stay on top of the many leadership and productivity articles published each week. To help you become the best leader possible, here are three articles I found helpful this week:

True Gratitude – More Than Pleasantries or Recognition by Karin Hurt & David Dye

“It’s easy for true gratitude to get lost in the swirl of formal recognition programs, everyday courtesies, and the relentless push for more and better. Progress is good. You need recognition. And courtesy is vital. But none of these are genuine gratitude. True gratitude begins with deep humility. It changes us. True gratitude transforms our relationships.”

How Being Grateful Improves Your Life by Rick Warren

“As we enter the final weeks of the year, it’s a great time to reflect upon the past year and prepare for the upcoming year. And gratitude is an important part of that process.”

Equipping ourselves to have meaningful conversations with all people is one way to carry out Christ’s command to love our neighbours.”
