Polished North Dallas November Luncheon

Research continues to show that gratitude has tremendously positive effects on overall health. But did you know that leading with gratitude in the workplace has also been shown to have a significant impact?

Wharton Business School professor, Adam Grant, suggests that the lack of gratitude at work is because we don’t like to admit that we need help at work – and thanking someone implies an admission that you can’t do it all on your own. Ouch. As believers, we know that we need one another. We cannot all be an ear or a foot or a mouth. We need one another. But at work? We’ve been conditioned towards self-sufficiency. And it’s costing us.

What if showing gratitude at work isn’t simply a way of admitting our need for one another. What if it helps to build a sense of belonging and collaboration? What if gratitude in the workplace isn’t just what sets us apart as believers, but is the key to restoring health to work culture? Leading with gratitude shows honor to those you work with and invites deeper authenticity, safety, and community. Yes, it communicates our need for one another. But what if that’s not an admission of weakness, but rather an invitation to community and belonging?

This month at Polished we are exploring what it means to lead gratefully. Because when it comes to leading at work, we believe that gratitude matters. Join the conversation and see how we can grow in this powerful practice that’s grounded in Christian theology and tradition.
