First off, welcome to 2021! This newsletter has been re-branded to Morale Mindset!
Second, the Morale Mindset Podcast is now available on Spotify! Google and Apple Podcast distribution platforms will soon follow. The Morale Mindset Podcast will discuss ways to elevate morale in the people around us, through actual stories and tactical solutions in roughly 5-10 minute episodes. The content will be aligned with the articles in providing structured solutions to drive results through understanding people dynamics, but will take a deeper dive into the narratives around the examples.
Since March 2020, Driving Businesses by Developing People has published 40 articles, spanning multiple topics around People Dynamics. In case you missed any of them, or want to review or dive deeper into specific categories, I have grouped all of the published articles into six categories. These have been provided below along with a shortlist of associated ideas to give the essence of each category.
People Development: Training, Mentoring, Empowering, and Motivating
Problem Solving: Thinking Processes, Perceptions, and Typical Issues
Relationships: Emotional Intelligence, Corporate Politics, and Morale
Healthy Conflict & Feedback: Initiating, Requesting, and Processing Feedback
Conversational Nuances: Speaking, Listening, and Negotiating
Personal Development: Consciousness, Goal Setting
The links to these articles grouped to their respective categories have been provided below. Additionally, the articles have been further categorized based on the intended audience's perspective: management (i.e., those who manage a team) or individual (i.e., any person, including management).
