Research shows that gratitude boosts employee engagement, reduces turnover, and leads team members to express more gratitude to one another thereby strengthening team bonds – but few executives effectively use this simple tool. Best-selling authors Adrian Gostick and Chester Elton identify the myths that cause leaders to withhold thanks and introduce eight simple ways managers can show employees they are valued. It’s a skill that everyone can easily learn.

- How to recognize and overcome the gratitude gap.
- Why fear is not a good motivator for employees.
- How to assume positive intent and walk in employees’ shoes.
- How to use expressions of gratitude to reinforce core company values.
