I’m facilitating a leadership development workshop for high-growth leaders. We’re discussing small steps we can take to boost engagement in our emerging leaders. I call these steps - micro moves. But why focus on emotional well-being and engagement? How will this help you expand your leadership influence and get the business results you need?

I enjoy hiking the hills on our ranch, Eagle Springs. My favorite path is next to a vibrant Quaking Aspen grove. Every season, I'm amazed at their beauty. Plus, these treks are a great source of leadership development insight and inspiration. In the fresh outdoors, I’m often surprised by the leadership strategies that nature teaches me... if I tune in. As my friend Jill Konrath says, "Walking is working."

Many leaders don’t see “gratitude” as a real business leadership strategy to achieve concrete results. I don’t blame them! In our fast-paced leadership world of high-tech, robotics, cultural upheaval, and global turmoil, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. How effectively is your leadership strategy delivering the concrete results you need to grow your business?

After posting a leadership development article on Gratitude, I get this great response from a colleague and friend, Erik Beckler, author of Four Fundamentals of Leadership:

“Chronic fear is debilitating. Showing gratitude in leadership is a great way to counter fear in yourself and others.  When gratitude is present and permeates a team culture, fear has a lot to go through to make an impact.”

How powerful is that!?
