Teaching Gratitude To Your Team

Teaching Gratitude to Your Team

There are 3 perspectives id like to add here. The first from ADHD, 2nd from the definition if Leadership, and 3rd from project mgnt.

From ADHD, it is easier to reach gratitude through positive events. 95% of all events are neutral, neither happy or sad . 5% are positive events, that generate a happy emoji ☺️. less than 1% of the events are negative, that generate a sad emoji 😭.

When you are happy, it is easier to express gratitude for the things you have achieved.

From Project Management, the first rule says .. manage expectations .. so, when working on a project, its important not only to manage the stake holders and contractors expectations, but also to provide feedback as the project is progressing. Thus feedback should not be held till an annual review, but constantly given during the project to encourage team members to keep working.

From Leadership .. guiding intent w integrity .. the style of leadership you choose determines the quality of the team you work with. So, for you, as a project leader, the goal is to teach the team members and stake holders how to give gratitude and why its important. And, as everyone starts saying thank you for little positive events, the team as a whole grows stronger w each experience to continue to work together and harder towards the goal.
