expressing gratitude has been proven to be an effective tool for motivation and satisfaction. a survey by the john templeton foundation found that employees give their best efforts on the jobs when coworkers and bosses appreciate their work. workplace coaches recommend a simple exercise to promote work place gratitude. write every team or staff member's name on a separate piece of paper. then ask everyone to write one nice word or thought about each member of the team anonymously. distribute the comments to team members so they can see what their coworkers appreciate about them. you can suggest that everyone post this to their computers so they see it every day as a reminder and it's not just for others. gratitude is a two-way street. 93% of those polled agreed that grateful bosses were more likely to be successful. only 18% thought grateful bosses would be seen as weak. i'm jill schlesinger for kpix 5. this is the dawn of an old day.
