Emotional Intelligence Exercise 15

Expressing gratitude is important for leaders. However, before you can express gratitude, your thoughts must reflect a grateful heart. Paradoxically, sometimes the reason you're a good leader is because you have trained yourself to think about what's wrong and to look for opportunities for improvement. To that end, you have trained yourself to have a critical heart. Therefore, it's important to assess your heart. In the circle below, create a pie chart reflecting:

  • The percentage of time you think about being grateful for the work your employees perform.
