If you’re a leader or aspire to be one, it’s important to focus on developing qualities like curiosity and open-mindedness,  now more than ever.

Each of us brings unique gifts to our world – gifts like patience, enthusiasm, creativity and generosity. We call these your superpowers. They’re attributes that have been with you most of your life. The key is to know what they are.

Let’s face it, working with people isn’t always easy. People get tangled up and judge each other. Team members gossip with colleagues about people who annoy them at work. As if collaboration weren’t already tough enough, now we may not even be in the same room with one another.

Being an appreciative leader is not about giving compliments, gift cards or trophies. It’s not about recognition, rewards, kudos or “atta boys.” While these are certainly actions that can boost morale and egos, they are superficial. They’re the easy way out.
