When a leader experiences a moral failure, it fractures the entire organization. That’s why you’ll often see teams and organizations completely kill off something and start fresh rather than try to salvage something or someone that continues to be mediocre. Crisis in Character. Character is the foundation of leadership.

Untapped potential - When we fail to reach our capabilities, especially when other people are depending on us, it kills both morale and momentum. Responding or reacting in a manner that’s out of character tends to confuse people. Sometimes another person’s belief in us doesn’t matter if we don’t believe in ourselves.

If you are getting the right response consistently — high productivity and morale — then you’re doing just fine. Rather, style is judged by those immediately influenced by it. It’s your people’s response to your style that matters.

I think it’s ironic that people are so theologically and morally outraged and vocal over a book they haven’t read yet…a book entitled “Love Wins.&#. Some feel that the willingness to even talk about it is grounds for labeling a person as a heretic. My advice: let’s wait and see.

A lack of clarity leads to distrust and low morale. How clear have you been as a leader to make sure your people know… …what’s on the test? …where the finish line is? …what their job description really is? Clarity fuels momentum and a sense of purpose. Just ask my son.

Some call it a conscience, others call it a moral compass. If you don’t, then you’ve probably filled your life with just enough noise that you are unable to hear the inner voice inside that speaks who you really are. For me, it’s the voice of God’s Spirit that convicts and gently prods me in the right direction.

Unrealistic and unreachable expectations can kill the morale of any team. This is when a leader understands that failure to achieve an expectation is backed by a solid reason and not merely an excuse. One of the ways you know your expectations are reasonable is if they align well with your vision, your goals, and the potential of your team.

Business leaders in the United States have shunned talking about values, because they seem to suggest a religious or moral outlook. In my view, management now has no choice but to teach values. This implication is not necessarily the case. Further, it’s not possible to sustain industrial competitiveness without attention to them.

Whether it’s moral choices, organizational choices, or personal choices, they will all have consequences. People don’t always see you choices, but they do see your consequences. You have an internal compass that guides you as you make choices each day. Sometimes, that compass needs recalibrating.

Yet there is something wonderful about the morale of the group, the vibe on a team, and the momentum that is created for the next experience when the leader takes time to reward the individuals and groups that invested themselves in the process of a successful experience. There is an intrinsic reward that comes with their effort.

When you inspire trust, you increase the morale of your team, you limit frustration and skepticism, and you are better able to hold on to the people whom you need the most. You may have charisma, an outstanding talent, the ability to communicate well, and the most capable team on the planet.

Although Scott’s doomed polar party stayed together until the very end, his detachment, emphasis on hierarchy, and unilateral decision-making style created barriers to team cohesion and damaged morale. Leadership success is often relative and always personal.

Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time; the need for mankind to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence. The good neighbor looks beyond the external accidents and discerns those inner qualities that make all men human and, therefore, brothers.
