Leaders who pride themselves in making others feel special think differently when they consider showing their appreciation with gifts, mementos, and thank-yous. They know that any expression of gratitude is best when it serves as a special reminder for weeks, months, and years — rather than for hours and days. Any gift that is fleeting in memory doesn’t make the cut.

Too often we substitute things for what really makes a difference because we’re afraid of setting a precedent or don’t want to hear others complain about not being treated equally. Well, we (Cary, NC) believe in treating individuals fairly because individuals are unique and deserve better than the lowest common denominator applied across the board.
