Yes, it takes a village, this one consisting of a wonderfully talented and professional as well as supportive and kind IIL Media production crew, under the exceptional leadership of IIL Media Head D.B. Roderick, to produce a Grateful Leadership video for International Project Management Day (IPMDay) 2016!

The topic this year is “Grateful Leadership and Innovation,” one requested by the WIN (Women Innovating Now) Employee Resource Group at Alcon, a Novartis company.  In the research I did to make the dramatic connection between Grateful Leadership and Innovation, I discovered that a critical component of the ability to innovate is “psychological safety.” I’ve concluded that people experience this when they work in a climate of appreciation and gratitude. Take a “sneak peek” at an excerpt from this upcoming video http://bit.ly/2dhENAg, and I hope to see you all on November 3rd, the launch of IPMDay!
