Effective management lessons first learned on the farm
Colleen Stanley
Lessons about business can be learned everywhere, if you're willing to keep your eyes and ears open to the possibilities.
It struck me on a recent trip home to Iowa that the earliest principles of leadership and management were taught to me by my mother and father.
Their official titles were farmer and farmer's wife, with no academic letters following their names.
These principles of management were not taught in meetings or with great rhetoric. The lessons were learned by observing their day-to-day actions in running a growing farm operation.
