Differentiate yourself by considering ways to acknowledge the importance of your employees.

In addition to sending cards at Christmas, consider sending "We Love Our Employees" cards on Valentines Day or saying thank you with a Thanksgiving Day card.

Recognize sacrifice. If someone stays late to complete a project, mention your appreciation.

You are a little bit crazy. You think out-of-the box. You try new things and if they fail, you admit the mistake, but don’t apologize for having tried.
