Team morale is all about “winning”

I’ve found that teams that consistently win over a week period (measuring over a week vs day is the right frequency here since anyone can have a bad day) are happy teams. And teams that consistently loose over a week period have low morale and are bound to have high turnover.

Why do teams win or lose concisely? It’s all about these three things:

• Focus — do they only have one or two ambitious goals or more which is probably too many?
• Team talent vs challenge — are the challenges given to the team allow them to be “in the zone” or are they too challenged or too bored?
• Motivation — are the individuals on the team doing things that give them energy >50% of the time?
