Together With

Good morning.  There is a very simple formula to use and implement if you want to be a better leader.

Don't assume you only own 50% of the relationship responsibility with your team members.

Instead assume that you own, and will consistently have to put forth, 75-85% of the effort.  Sometimes even 100%.

Adopt this mindset and you will instantly become a better and more empathetic leader.

Special thanks to KARE for sponsoring our newsletter and supporting our community of NHA's and senior living leaders.

Gratitude challenge

Today's challenge will cause you to think a bit differently.

Instead of showing gratitude to the team, we're going to show appreciation and completely surprise some folks no longer on your team.

Here's what to do.

Have HR provide you with a list of employees, including addresses, who have left the organization within the past year.  

Look through the list and mark the names that make you smile—the individuals you would welcome back in a heartbeat.

Put together a care package with a handwritten thank you card or use a platform like Thnks and share with each employee a note of gratitude and a small gift for the work and service they provided to the community. 

The gesture will be completely unexpected and will leave a lasting impression.

Plus, you never know who may regret their decision to leave.
