A big part of creativity in leadership is finding unique ways to inspire and engage your team. Opportunities to do so are all around us.

For example, you can play a significant role in creating meaningful experiences for your employees this  Memorial Day. Celebrations happening in the U.S. this weekend provide a good opportunity to honor the sacrifices of those who have served or continue to serve in the armed forces with a heartfelt message.

Leadership Tip

Engage and inspire your team by showing your gratitude with a personal Memorial Day message.

Get creative with how and where you can share your message of appreciation. Repeat it as often as practical. A word of caution: Make sure your message is genuine and not perceived as “window dressing.”

By promoting gratitude and remembrance with sincere messages, you will foster a positive, inclusive work environment In which employees feel valued and connected to a larger purpose.

If you don’t have enough time to craft a meaningful Memorial Day message, then look ahead and be prepared for the next opportunity to engage and inspire your team.
