Christmas holidays have come and gone. The time for giving good gifts hasn’t. 

All of us who lead and serve are in a place to give: 

• Truth-telling, a foundational principle of trust. 
• Transparency. 
• Listening, with the time to hear, understand and possibly be influenced.
• Shared networks that bring people together. 
• Noticing potential in people. Tell them what you see. 
• Opportunities for personal and professional growth. 
• High expectations for self and others. 
• Recognition of great work. 
• Heartfelt thank-yous. 

What good gifts do you find important as you L. E. A. D.?
