    Season 4: Episode 1 - How to improve team morale

    In this episode, I talk about practical ways to improve employee morale and what most employees want from their boss. After a few years' break, I am back with a new podcast and a refreshed outlook. I have trained over 5000 leaders in the past five years, and one thing remains the same. Conversations and how we communicate matter more than ever. With a new book on the horizon, let's talk about leadership. Whether you manage a small or more significant team, you are dealing with similar issues, such as how to hire, train, and retain a team that is as passionate about your business as you are.
