Stephanie Mark in her article, “The Importance of Being Nice” says this:
“As a business owner, how people interact with others on the team is the number one thing I look out for. Creating an environment where people are excited to come to work and inspired is largely created by people being nice. It fosters teamwork, creates new relationships and makes new employees comfortable. If I see someone going out of their way to pitch in, welcome someone new, help out in any way – that sticks with me. Often times it’s that little act of just being nice that sticks with people much more than if you answered your email at lightning speed. Conversely, having a negative attitude in the office often spreads like wildfire. Of course, everyone has off days but when someone simply isn’t nice to others on the team it is a sign to me that maybe our company is not the right environment for them. It is unfortunate when people’s accomplishments are overshadowed by their attitudes.”
Powerfully spoken don’t you think? And, it truly is that important, it really is.
Begin By Being Nice … And Keep Building On What You Have Started!
It is to this that we have been called!
In being Christ-like we will be gentle, kind and nice. Our aim is to mirror His likeness … in how we live and love … speak and serve.
We are at our best for Him when we do these things and in doing them, we nurture His best into the lives of others.
Begin By Being Nice … And Keep Building On What You Have Started!
There is no doubt that this is us … at our best.
