The Art of Grateful Leadership

Welcome the Art of Grateful Leadership Podcast

This was a hard podcast to put together

not because I’m not passionate about the topic

but that it hits close to home and it revolves around the topic of someone passing away.

Either way, I have found this to be very uplifting

and don’t take this wrong, I’m not happy the person is gone

its what happened along the way…

Acknowledge people every chance you get.  This episode reinforces this thought.  You never know when you won't see someone again.

There are some times when you just can’t help acknowledging someone.

There was just such a day recently.

We were coming to the end of the year and there are a number of initiatives that need to be completed so everyone can head into the holidays with relaxation on their mind

One of these was an initiative with visibility all the way up to the top executive in the department

There were six applications that needed to be brought up to corporate standards before the end of the year.

We started this initiative in April and everyone looked at the goal and rolled their eyes.

It was a massive undertaking few people thought we could achieve.

In this episode we will talk about how to strengthen your Acknowledgment skills

Whether you’re a seasoned veteran at acknowledging people

Or just beginning your acknowledgment journey

Sometimes it’s hard to get to that next acknowledgment

It might be your first acknowledgment

or it might just be “one of those days”

Either way, you know there are people’s actions or activities out there just waiting to be acknowledged

The topic for this episode is

Whom should I acknowledge?

Many times I’ve heard

Why should I acknowledge the person for doing that?

They are just doing their job?

Is there a relationship between the two?

In other words:
