Gratitude

Gratitude.Why should a leader show it?Let me rephrase the question for you.How would you like it if you worked hard on a project/job for someone and they brushed it off like it was nothing.I would imagine you wouldn't be too happy and probably wouldn't try as hard the next time.The reason a leader should show gratitude is that it lets the people being led know that they are appreciated for all the hard work and time they dedicate to the project/job or whatever is being done.
As a leader having reliable people to work with is wonderful,so treat them as you would want to be treated.No one likes being mistreated.
