Morale is a beautiful and complicated thing.When it's high it's an unstoppable experience for any unified group. When it's low, things look bleak.
Lately, my eyes have been opened to the weighty responsibility on a leader to build and sustain a high team-morale. It's everything.
As a leader/vision caster in any arena, you have to continually feed hope and direction and confidence into your program. Just as barn yard animals need the daily slop - volunteers, followers and employees alike need regular reassurance of vision.
In the context of church leadership, I think of it this way: you are the sacred keeper of morale so guard it like the life of your church depends on it. Because it does.
You've probably heard the expression, "fake it 'till you make it." As much as I hate cliche's I love that statement for its timeless truth. Do whatever it takes to build your team morale and you'll see an army behind you.
