Back to Episodes43: Why Appreciation Is a Leadership Strategy, Not a Courtesy (3 of 8)
Description
You can have a board full of people who care deeply about the mission and still have a CEO who doesn't feel supported. It happens more often than we realize. In this episode, Marcia shares why appreciation is about much more than saying "thank you." It's about creating a board culture where people know their expertise is trusted, their contributions matter, and they're encouraged to keep bringing their best to the organization.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- Why appreciation is fuel for future contribution, not just recognition for past work.
- How even well-intentioned boards can unintentionally discourage their CEO's best ideas.
- Two simple questions you can bring to your next board meeting to build greater trust and appreciation.
Every episode comes with practical next steps.
