Good to Grateful
Ask anyone in the division about John, and you’ll hear: “He’s the man who says ‘thank you.’ ”
Early in his career, John made two commitments. First, to be good at his work. Second, to stay grateful. After every project or task, John thanked his assistant. For every order he received, he thanked the customer. Every coworker who helped heard from John. And it’s no surprise that John’s superiors showed their gratitude right up the company ladder.
