Happy #GivingTuesday! So you’ve had a day to give thanks (mostly for your stomach’s miraculous capacity at ingesting high-fat food), a couple of days to break the bank (and then some), and while you’re still standing (albeit with your wallet lighter and your body heavier), how about giving something away…at work? And no, I don’t mean the five minutes your computer takes its sweet time to shut down, or how you left the last donut in the cafeteria untouched (after ingesting three of its dough brothers), but really give something of yourself…
Are you an encourager, or is there a giant STOP sign somewhere between your teeth and the roof of your mouth preventing you from uttering a single word of encouragement to anyone? How about paying a compliment to one of your team members who’s been staying late every night? Or finding a way to help a co-worker solve a work problem? Or contributing as a team to a charity in need? What have you given at work lately, that did not reflect itself on your paycheck?
It’s Giving Tuesday, choose to inspire and encourage others, and watch how it will motivate you in return. Besides, motivating others is the true sign of leadership!
Happy Giving Tuesday!
