Gratitude isn’t a holiday sentiment - it’s a leadership system.

Too many organizations mistake gratitude for one-off gifts, messages, or events tied to a date on the calendar.

But gratitude that truly scales across a company’s culture isn’t seasonal - it’s structural. Focus on making gratitude visible in operational ways. Don't rely solely on words. Tie gratitude to outcomes achieved, trust built, and values lived.

For CEOs, founders, and culture architects, designing systems of visible recognition and sustainable gratitude builds trust far beyond December.

In this Forbes feature, I contributed a systems-driven perspective on embedding gratitude inside leadership rhythms, not surface gestures.

"Corporate leaders: It’s never too late - or too early - to set an example! Stick within the bounds of your shared, agreed-upon values. Don’t pressure donations. Workforce-appropriate gratitude, inspiration and giving are about how we show up for each other in day-to-day operations. Start announcing changes based on feedback. Follow through! Be passionate about championing change that’s needed."

~ Kinga Vajda, Forbes Coaches Council
