Leading with Gratitude

Autor Adrian Gostick, Chester Elton
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 mar 2020

Mulți lideri cad în capcana mitului conform căruia recunoștința este o formă de slăbiciune sau că salariul este o mulțumire suficientă pentru performanța angajaților. În Leading with Gratitude, Adrian Gostick și Chester Elton demontează această barieră psihologică pe care o numesc „gratitude gap” — prăpastia dintre conștientizarea beneficiilor aprecierii și eșecul sistematic de a o implementa în mediul de lucru. Subliniem faptul că această carte nu este despre politețe, ci despre o strategie de management riguroasă, orientată spre rezultate financiare clare. Descoperim aici un ghid pragmatic care transformă un concept abstract într-un instrument de eficiență operațională. Autorii propun opt metode specifice pentru a integra recunoștința în rutina zilnică, susținute de date care demonstrează corelația directă între apreciere și creșterea veniturilor, exemplificând prin succesul diviziei Disneyland. Pe linia practică a lucrării The 5 Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace, dar cu un focus mai pronunțat pe leadershipul executiv și pe impactul asupra profitabilității, volumul oferă soluții pentru reducerea fluctuației de personal și creșterea moralului. Poziționăm această lucrare ca o evoluție firească a filozofiei prezentate în The Carrot Principle. Dacă în lucrările anterioare, precum The Best Team Wins, autorii puneau accent pe structura echipei și colaborare, aici se concentrează pe cel mai ieftin și rapid motor de performanță: recunoașterea meritului. Stilul este direct, autoritar și extrem de aplicat, integrând experiențele unor lideri precum Alan Mulally de la Ford, oferind astfel o validare din lumea reală a afacerilor globale.

Descriere

The influential New York Times bestselling authors—the “apostles of appreciation” Chester Elton and Adrian Gostick—provide managers and executives with easy ways to add more gratitude to the everyday work environment to help bolster moral, efficiency, and profitablity.

Workers want and need to know their work is appreciated. Showing gratitude to employees is the easiest, fastest, most inexpensive way to boost performance. New research shows that gratitude boosts employee engagement, reduces turnover, and leads team members to express more gratitude to one another—strengthening team bonds. Studies have also shown that gratitude is beneficial for those expressing it and is one of the most powerful variables in predicting a person’s overall well-being—above money, health, and optimism. The Walt Disney Company knows this firsthand. When the leadership of the Disneyland theme park gave thousands of managers training in expressing gratitude to their employees, the park saw a double-digit percent increase in revenue.
Despite these benefits, few executives effectively utilize this simple tool. In fact, new research reveals “people are less likely to express gratitude at work than anyplace else.” What accounts for the staggering chasm between awareness of gratitude’s benefits and the failure of so many leaders to do it—or do it well? Adrian Gostick and Chester Elton call this the gratitude gap. In this invaluable guide, they identify the widespread and pernicious myths about managing others that cause leaders to withhold thanks.
Gostick and Elton also introduce eight simple ways managers can show employees they are valued. They supplement their insights and advice with stories of how many of today’s most successful leaders—such as Alan Mulally of Ford and Hubert Joly of Best Buy—successfully incorporated gratitude into their leadership styles.
Showing gratitude isn’t just about being nice, it’s about being smart—really smart—and it’s a skill that everyone can easily learn.
