Something that has the power to improve every workplace everywhere.
Generosity — so important and impactful to workplace culture.
Why not be generous and embody that as a company, a leader, as a human being?
Especially for companies. It is important for every leader and organization to think about the way that they impact their people, and how they want that impact to be felt.
Here’s a short list that comes to mind when we’re talking about things that you can be generous with that massively improve culture on teams:
Praise (Do you praise folks enough?)
Time-off (Do you generously approve time off requests and promote work/life balance?)
Salaries (Are you paying people mediocre, or great wages?)
Time and attention (Do you listen to and genuinely help people?)
Customer Experience (Are you intentional about creating exceptional customer experience?)
Embody these, live these, and watch your workplace transform.
I believe that the universe is abundant — there’s enough to go around for everybody. Generosity is about being giving, being intentional about the experience other’s have of you and because of you.
And it’s something that comes back to you in return. When you have an environment and culture of generosity, it’s contagious. More generosity and positivity naturally happen in other ways. The opposite is true, too. When people are stingy with their time, money, with praise, etc., that energy and behavior is also contagious.
Be mindful of your impact on others as a company, leader, human, etc. Have a generous spirit. It benefits you and everyone you interact with.
