This is the soundtrack to the DVD tutorial presented by David McCubbin.  It addresses the choices leaders in a team can make to keep the energy of the team driving towards successful outcomes.  These are practical, supporting choices that be made whether you are the designated leader or a team member with the capacity for leadership.
