Alexia’s Legacy: Lesson #7 – Take Time to Appreciate When Things Go Right
She was tragically taken from us, but her legacy lives on. Every few weeks we will share excerpts from the book
Ray,
I will definitely take a look at this over the break and let you know what I think!
This week has been amazing so far! Nothing has been too stressful, nothing has been too pressing, everyone has been incredibly nice, and I have been getting to sleep earlier than normal!
We had a PLP SD holiday dinner tonight so I didn’t get home until after ten but I have gotten all settled in and am already curled up in bed ready to fall asleep!
Talk to you soon!
Alexia
From Alexia’s Journal:
I am thankful for:
- The McKinsey Consulting Meeting
- Time to call my parents
- Such beautiful weather
Lesson: Take time to appreciate when things go right.
Celebrate your small successes. Take a few moments to stop and appreciate the things that are going right. As leaders, we are often caught up in all the challenges and problems we need to solve. We have long to-do lists that seem like they will never be completed. So as a leader, you have to consciously stop and appreciate what is going right and what you have accomplished. Celebrate small successes, personally, and with your team.
Opportunity: Every day, email a friend with a list of things that went right for you personally and for your team.
