  • Do You Have an Emotionally Intelligent Team?

    Do You Have an Emotionally Intelligent Team?
    Sep 15 2025

    Is it that they have a brilliant leader or that every team member is a top performer? The truth is that those help, but neither of them differentiates the best teams. Exceptional teams stand apart from others by building an emotionally intelligent ecosystem (not just the EI of leaders or employees). Unlike most, emotionally intelligent teams develop social norms and routines that motivate teamwork by building a genuine sense of belonging among team members. These norms prioritize team member feedback and development, and encourage constructive debate that produces effective decisions and novel ideas

  • Encore Leading with Gratitude - Chester Elton

    Encore Leading with Gratitude - Chester Elton
    Jul 4 2022
    After surveying more than one million employees at a wide range of companies, New York Times bestselling authors Adrian Gostick and Chester Elton found that gratitude—when done right—is the easiest, fastest, cheapest way that managers can boost performance and employee engagement. Yet it’s also one of the most misunderstood and misapplied skills in business. Gostick and Elton solve the mystery of this “gratitude gap” in their new book LEADING WITH GRATITUDE: Eight Leadership Practices for Extraordinary Business Results (March 3, 2020; HarperBusiness). Their research shows that very few bosses intentionally bully. The problem is usually misperception or lack of awareness. These leaders have no idea how hard their people work, what challenges they face, or how much they would benefit from sincere and explicit gratitude. They also don’t know how to show gratitude effectively or sincerely.
