There are many different kinds of generosity and many different ways to be generous with your team. A companywide pizza party is one small, obvious gift, but I like to think deeper than that and, as always, to look further down the line.This means something generous you do for your team or an individual associate--such as encouraging them to figure out a problem on their own or not handholding when self-accountability provides the better outcome--might take some time to emerge as the truly generous act that it was. But it will emerge, and it will create more value in your relationships with your associates over time. As a leader, I've found that generosity is key--and it must be true generosity.
