Appreciation

August 8, 2025 bobturner Daily Leadership, saltJournal 0 Comments

When businesses host a “Customer Appreciation Day,” they offer special pricing to express their gratitude to customers.

Appreciation is best summed up in the depth of our gratitude. Cicero claimed, “Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others.” (Cicero, ‘Pro Plancio,’ 54 B.C.)

When was the last time you expressed gratitude?
What actions or qualities move you to be thankful?
How often do you express your gratitude?
Have you considered why you are thankful?

Express your gratitude for the physical and spiritual ways God has blessed your life. To Him be the glory.

A Leader’s Golden Rule

October 3, 2022 bobturner Daily Leadership, saltJournal 0 Comments

Several variations of the “Golden Rule” are commonly known. It might be “do unto others as they have done unto you,” or “do unto others before they do unto you.”

However, Jesus said “do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”

How do we want to be treated as a leader? With respect, understanding, love, appreciation, patience, etc.? If this is how we want to be treated, Jesus would tell us to treat others this way first!

If we are not careful, it is easy to react, instead of acting as we should. We must also be careful to guard against overreacting.

Leading with Gratitude

Two of the most important words in any language are “thank you.”

We live in a world often characterized by entitlement. While the youth are quickly identified by this thought, there needs to be consideration to where they learned it.

The age of entitlement influences everyone. We feel we have rights. After all, we are special, therefore entitled to receive. Others should want to give.

Think about the people who make a difference in your life and express appreciation.

We might be surprised at the difference it makes in their lives to do so.
