Celebrate!

For those of us who live far enough north to worry about snow, Labor Day signifies the end of summer, the beginning of fall colors, and the advent of cold winter days. It is a day dedicated to celebrate the social and economic achievements of the American worker and the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our great country.

Research show us that great leaders live with an attitude of gratitude and that every day is celebrated. Workers feel that they are a part of something larger then themselves, that the vision is clear, the workers are valued, and they have a voice which is heard. From the leader, a simple thank you, job well done, a pat on the back, a brief conversation about life outside the office, pays great dividends without a cost… and yet, void of such a culture costs a great deal.

So this holiday weekend take time to consider how to celebrate “Labor Day” more than once a year, and perhaps the “winters” won’t be as harsh…

Be good to yourself…
