Morale is the drive, the spirit that other individuals have to support our goals. With high morale, all objectives requiring multiple individuals will become streamlined. With low morale, these same objectives will continue to struggle obstacle after obstacle.

In the podcast, "Morale Mindset", we discuss ways to elevate morale in the people around us, through actual stories and tactical solutions.
