As we continue to move through the holiday season and into the new year, we often give a little extra thought to being kind to others.

Approaching the calendar year-end is also the fiscal year-end for many organizations.

If you haven’t already, you might be putting the final touches on your 2024 plans with updated strategic goals, new projects, and (crossing fingers) budgets.

When the new year hits, you’re going to kick off initiatives – and start spending those fresh monies on important new investments for the future.

These will represent change for you and the people in your organization (and, depending on your reach and impact, customers, partners, or even society as a whole).

Want to have an immediate positive impact, without having to learn anything new?

Two words.

Be nice.

This is one thing any manager or leader can do that will make a difference, right now.

Be nice.

Start there. Don’t overthink it.

Then get to work.

Have a great weekend!
