in this episode i walk you through one of my favorite long term influence strategies called wheat farming. It is a take on Stephen Covey's law of the farm. The idea is that as a leader we develop a vision of a better future, then using the work breakdown structure from project management, create a detailed plan of how to make the vision happen. Over the course of the next several months / years implement the project plan and make the vision happen. This technique builds on and integrates all of the strategies we have explored in the previous five casts. This is a potent influence approach but requires a level of dedication and persistence that will test your commitment.I invite you to join my mailing list at Developing Leaders Inc, where you will not only receive a free copy of my ebook on delegation but you will also get a free leadership course.
