The drive to be first, best or most, in any worthwhile accomplishment, takes certain leadership skills and abilities. At every position and every level in your organization leadership is a must. Leadership development comes through education and experience; attitude and aptitude; and motivation and desire. In a family agribusiness we must learn to measure leadership skill and abilities from two perspectives - the hard skills of systems and operations, and the soft skills of people management.
- Perform a self assessment, objectively measuring personal leadership skills, abilities and the aptitude for achievement.
- Design a personal leadership skills improvement plan – including education, experiential exercises and practical applications.
- Seek mentor / mentee relationship that will grow personal leadership capabilities.
- Attend meaningful seminars, workshops and presentations that may improve leadership skills.
- Participate in classroom studies designed to grow capabilities.
- Periodically reassess leadership skills and abilities to check for progress.
- Devise methods to develop, or compensate for, persistent deficiencies.

“One positive aspect of early planning is that it allows the child to be developed as a successor, giving them time to become deeply familiar with all aspects of the operation, both internal and external. Professional development is key in farming and ranching, just as it is in any other field.” - Danny Klinefelter * |
