Is it really better to have had and lost morale than never had it at all?

[Pedro de San Patricio]

Work seems comparable to taking a scalding bath. If you try to sink yourself into it, then you're just going to get immersed slower and more painfully. If you jump straight into it, it'll hurt like a bitch but then you go numb and can stay there indefinitely. You can pull yourself out occasionally for relief, but then you'll have to go right back in again. The pain will remain constant and eventually hard to notice if you never get out. In the same way, lacking morale is only a problem if you try to maintain it. Just let it go and accept the grind day in, day out from that first step to separation and you'll become numb to any negative effects.

Morale is very important, either in civilian life, or military. For police departments, for the corporate subordinates. For the people doing road work on the highway, for the person in the market cutting meat.

Morale....is ultimately the responsibility of those in leadership and management positions. First line supervisors......all the way to the CEO.

Very few people know that low or poor morale leads to low and/or poor productivity, bad health and medical problems, loss of attention and coordination, and other medical and social problems.

All these people whom take in-house corporate classes, leadership classes, psychology and sociology classes in college to be corporate/industrial leaders.......forget about one important thing -----> Morale.

But then again, some leaders only see one side of the fence....because they want to. Ignorance....or more importantly fear.......prevents them from seeing the other side of the fence.....where the described "Peasants" live.

There is much more to leadership than giving orders and setting at a desk. Being in a leadership position means......being a leader !
