One-on-Ones: The Leadership Tool Most Owners Ignore

Reach Out Via Text!In this episode of the Growing Green Podcast, Jeremiah Jennings dives into one of the most overlooked leadership tools in the green industry: intentional one-on-one meetings with your team. Jeremiah shares a real conversation he recently had with a new employee that completely shifted his perspective on leadership, communication, and how easily small frustrations can grow into major problems when owners stay stuck in “survival mode” during busy season. He breaks down why many landscape business owners lose connection with their people during spring rush, how direct reports should actually function inside a growing company, and why creating space for honest conversations can dramatically improve retention, trust, and long-term growth. The episode also explores leadership through a faith-based lens, discussing stewardship, personal development, and the responsibility business owners have to truly invest in their people. If you’ve ever felt too busy to slow down and lead intentionally, this episode is a powerful reminder that your people need more than direction — they need connection.Leanscaper People Intensive Free Ticket-https://leanscaper.link/4wsLgxbSupport the show10% off LMN Software- https://lmncompany.partnerlinks.io/growinggreenpodcastSignup for our Newsletter- https://mailchi.mp/942ae158aff5/newsletter-signupBook A Consult Call-https://stan.store/GrowingGreenPodcastLawntrepreneur Academy-https://www.lawntrepreneuracademy.com/The Landscaping Bookkeeper-https://thelandscapingbookkeeper.com/Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/growinggreenlandscapes/[email protected] Green Website- https://www.growinggreenlandscapes.com/
