Having an “attitude of gratitude” doesn’t just speak to who we are as people. It speaks to who we are as a company. Gratitude reinforces that authenticity. It expresses our humility. Grattitude is everything.
I was on a plane about a month ago, and one of the passengers was giving the flight attendant a hard time. I could tell she was frustrated. When she walked by my seat a few minutes later, I stopped her and said, “I want to thank you for the job you’re doing. I truly appreciate it.” She actually got a little teary-eyed and, then, a funny thing happened.
