E125 | Leadership & Psychology

On the farm there is usually a massive disconnect between leadership, and just telling people what to do. When you are telling people what to do you are just managing them, you aren't teaching, building them, or growing them, like you would if you were leading. Leadership means leading people to become better versions of themselves. It's important to lead your team members because they will come up against things they weren't trained for and that you, yourself may not have come up against. Without your leadership, and helping them grow, they'll just come to you for every issue rather than coming up with a solution themselves. You don't want every small decision going through you.   Check out the Impact Legacy Farmer is having on the American Farmer here:  www.legacyfarmer.org
