Thanks-Giving

“I can no other answer make, but, thanks, and thanks”

From William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night

In what has become a Tuesday Tip Tradition, the tip of Thanksgiving week focuses on gratitude.

As we wish you and your coworkers a Thanksgiving filled with abundance and bright moments, it’s fitting to reflect on the things we are most grateful for at work. At the top of the gratitude list are the diverse talents of our coworkers. Each colleague brings something different to help make your team, and ultimately your organization, thrive. Without their passion, strengths and commitment to reach your team’s success you would flounder.

Studies have established that when people take time to identify specific positive attributes in others or their actions, and take time to acknowledge them in some way, they tend to:

• Have a relative absence of stress and depression
• Make progress toward important personal goals
• Report higher levels of determination and energy

Use imapMyTeam® to make it easy to find and document positive attributes of your team members. Consider their contributions and how they add to the team’s overall success. Perhaps write down a few notes to solidify your appreciation. The gratitude you offer will benefit you as well as your colleagues.

We are grateful for the readers of Tuesday Tips and users of imapMyTeam®; thank you for being a reader. Thank you to those of you who have reached out with compliments and suggestions. We appreciate each and every one of you – without you there would be no us.

We hope you enjoy some time away from the demands of work and your return from the holiday comes with a renewed attitude of gratitude!


Happy Thanksgiving to all!
