  Leading with Gratitude - Eight...

  The influential New York Times bestselling authors—the “apostles of appreciation” Chester Elton and Adrian Gostick—provide managers and executives with easy ways to add more gratitude to the everyday work environment to help bolster moral, efficiency, and profitability. 
   
  Workers want and need to know their work is appreciated. Showing gratitude to employees is the easiest, fastest, most inexpensive way to boost performance. New research shows that gratitude boosts employee engagement, reduces turnover, and leads team members to express more gratitude to one another—strengthening team bonds. Studies have also shown that gratitude is beneficial for those expressing it and is one of the most powerful variables in predicting a person’s overall well-being—above money, health, and optimism. The WD-40 Company knows this firsthand. When the leadership gave thousands of managers training in expressing gratitude to their employees, the company saw record increases in revenue. 
  Despite these benefits, few executives effectively utilize this simple tool. In fact, new research reveals “people are less likely to express gratitude at work than anyplace else.” What accounts for the staggering chasm between awareness of gratitude’s benefits and the failure of so many leaders to do it—or do it well? Adrian Gostick and Chester Elton call this the gratitude gap. In this invaluable guide, they identify the widespread and pernicious myths about managing others that cause leaders to withhold thanks. 
  Gostick and Elton also introduce eight simple ways managers can show employees they are valued. They supplement their insights and advice with stories of how many of today’s most successful leaders—such as Alan Mulally of Ford and Hubert Joly of Best Buy—successfully incorporated gratitude into their leadership styles. 
  Showing gratitude isn’t just about being nice, it’s about being smart—really smart—and it’s a skill that everyone can easily learn.

  "A Description of the Money Market" is a book written by Walter Bagehot in the 19th century. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the workings of the money market in the United Kingdom during that time. 
  Bagehot, who was a prominent economist and journalist, explains the key players and institutions involved in the money market, including banks, brokers, and the Bank of England. He describes the various financial instruments traded in the market, such as bills of exchange, bank deposits, and securities. Bagehot also explores the factors that influence the supply and demand of money, including interest rates, creditworthiness, and economic conditions. 
  One of the key contributions of "A Description of the Money Market" is Bagehot's explanation of the role of the central bank, particularly the Bank of England, in the management of the money supply and the stability of the financial system. Bagehot's principles of central banking, including the lender of last resort function, have had a lasting impact on modern monetary policy. 
  Overall, "A Description of the Money Market" is a seminal work on the history and workings of the money market and has been influential in shaping economic and financial thought. It is still considered a valuable resource for students, academics, and professionals in the field of finance.

  It’s getting harder and harder to get by. Inflation. Stagnant wages. Spiraling costs of living. Even in the world’s wealthiest nation, it is too hard to earn enough money to thrive without a tremendous amount of privilege or luck. When so many people are struggling, what can we do? ​The Wages of Peace offers aspiring economic peacemakers an empathetic, informed perspective on today’s economy and the difficulty of getting by. Reporting back from his work in community development, Brian Humphreys unpacks the core needs of low-income households and communities, starting with living-wage jobs. He then offers practical steps to address complex socioeconomic challenges and become equipped to talk about money, work, and well-being. This includes confronting where our theologies of wealth and work have come up short and naming that when we put profits over people, we pay the price in despair and violence. Jesus calls us to seek shalom in the marketplace and the neighborhood. It’s time to dismantle inequality and work for an equitable peace.
