At the next stop of Ethan's and Mike's journey to explore the driving forces behind workplace morale, they dig into what actually makes someone an effective manager. First, they examine why money rarely sustains morale and how the Peter Principle lands skilled individual contributors in leadership roles they were never trained for. Then they discuss the day-to-day behaviors (regular check-ins, honest conversations, real investment in people's growth) that build the trust and engagement every team needs to thrive.

This week, we're giving you an exclusive preview of something we've been building for years: the Mind and Heart University app, our leadership development course coming soon to your pocket. What you're about to hear is the audio from the course videos themselves, and we think you'll get a lot out of it even in this format.
