We are grateful for you! Greg and I love talking about leadership, and it’s a great joy that you tune in to listen. In this episode we discuss why an attitude of gratefulness is so important for leaders year-round, not just around the holidays.

• [4:28] Grateful leaders have greater influence with people around them.
• [8:14] It’s easier to build consensus on our teams when we have a thankful paradigm.
• [10:52] Thankful correlates with graceful. This is such an attractive quality for leaders.
• [14:10] Greg asks me elaborate on how gratitude ties into my book Shepherd Leadership.
• [16:09] How does a grateful mindset help us get through the tough times?
• [18:56] Happiness is not the same as joy. Joy is much deeper and serves us as leaders much better because happiness can be gone really quickly.
