But as a leader, you set the tone, and it’s important to create positivity. When you reshape your mindset to positivity, you find opportunity in challenges and benefits in drawbacks. People with positive attitudes remain hopeful and see the best even in difficult situations.

One of a leader's most important functions is serving as a shock absorber , soaking up forces generated by one part of the organization (or from outside the organization) and distributing them elsewhere, and doing so in such a way that the entire system operates more effectively.

In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.
