Unexpressed gratitude is perceived as ingratitude. In this episode, Andy Stanley and co-host Suzy Gray unpack one of the most overlooked leadership habits—expressing gratitude. Most leaders feel thankful for their teams but fail to say it out loud. And when we don’t express gratitude, people don’t assume we’re busy—they assume we’re ungrateful. But appreciation builds loyalty, strengthens culture, and fuels motivation far more effectively than paychecks or perks ever could.

Leading with Gratitude

Great leaders accomplish more by doing less—protecting margin, fully leveraging their unique strengths, and keeping the vision in front of their teams. In this episode, Andy Stanley and Jason Jaggard discuss why focus is a leadership discipline, not a personality trait. When leaders stop trying to do everything and instead focus on the work only they can do, the organization grows, the team gains clarity, and momentum accelerates. This episode explores the habits that keep leaders out of the weeds, thinking strategically, and empowering others to lead.
