Gratitude a Foundational Strategic Leadership Skill

I bring a gratitude-based approach to my executive leadership coaching clients and speaking. I work with leaders with their challenges and environments to show when and how to use gratitude to make the most impact.
Does gratitude play a role in increased productivity?
Can gratitude help you give better feedback to the underperformers and tough team members?
Is gratitude the key to increased engagement and trust building for better decisions?
Can applying gratitude in the workplace really translate to better results?
Is strong gratitude even needed with all this uncertainty and change around AI, Artificial Intelligence?
The answer is YES, YES, YES!
Many leadership models that exist and are well understood are being touted as how to lead in an AI world: Servant Leadership, Positive Intelligence, Emotional Intelligence V2.0, Liminal, Humanistic, and Threshold Leadership. One thing they all have in common is Gratitude.
