Gratitude is one of the key elements to happiness. and being able to call it forth, in the midst of day to day stress with our projects and even more so our colleagues is something i like to work on every day.
One of my favourite retrospective traditions is to close out with “Flowers”. Everyone writes the name(s) of persons who they wish to thank for whatever reason.
The idea has even made it’s way onto an Innovation Week project where a few guys on the team created a Gratitude app that gives virtual flowers. So far the response has been positive.
How might I introduce gratitude to our daily protocols?
