How farmers can lead well when the pressure is on | EP 60
Running a farm means leadership under pressure is part of the job. When the weather turns, the workload spikes or the unexpected hits, there’s no pause button.
Southland leadership trainer and former military veteran Tony Groves helps farmers, team supervisors and rural professionals make better decisions when the heat is on.
After a hugely popular first appearance, Tony is back to share new insights from the farm businesses he’s working with right now.
We dive into practical tools to:
• Stay calm and clear in crisis
• Communicate so there’s less friction
• Execute when time and energy are tight
• Build trust and a stronger team culture
• Make fast calls without shutting people out
