In situations from interpersonal to corporate, a show of gratitude can make a huge difference in the happiness and morale of those involved. Productivity can be improved by showing those who work for you that their efforts matter, simply by thanking them and showing them the full gratitude for all they’ve done.
When it comes to interpersonal relationships, there’s a lot of hurt and misunderstanding that can be waved away with a simple “I’m thankful for you and all that you do.” Thank You Thursday was established to remind us that there’s always an opportunity to thank someone and that gratitude can happen on any day, for any reason. This one is for those who need the excuse and a reminder.
Originally inspired by the inspirational work of Jon Gordon, Thank You Thursday was established both to embrace the power of positivity, and to show the boost you can give to another life and how such a simple act can even improve the life of the one showing gratitude.
Jon Gordon is a motivational speaker who has published multiple books on how to improve attitudes, morale, and the end result of doing so. Fortune 500 companies like Campbell Soup and Wells Fargo and sports teams alike have benefitted from his lessons.
