4 Skills That Business Leaders Can Learn From Master Gardeners
Creating a positive company culture that involves research, replication, re-working and re-imagining will lead to success. These skills are the four Rs: research, replicate, work, reimagine, and reimagine (the four Rs): research, replicates, rework, and work.
Research
Those who become true masters at their craft start out as students, researching, reading and learning, especially from those who have already established themselves in the field.
- Andy Grove, Intel’s visionary CEO, once stated that much of his form of management came from reading Peter Drucker’s Practice of Management decades after its publication.
Re-imagine
Keeping the status quo is a recipe for obsolescence, especially during times of rapid disruption.
- Fostering a healthy culture as the driving ethos of strategy can create a culture of noxious weeds that hinder growth and deprive your organization from flourishing to its full potential.
Replicate
Learnings are theoretical until you put them into practice
- In business, your company becomes the lab where you put all the knowledge you’ve learned into practice to establish a thriving and healthy culture
- OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) can help you replicate success and ensure you’re actively putting learnings into practice
Re-work
Things learned in theory may not always turn out how you imagined
- The work of tweaking, iterating, and re-working those things which you’ve put into practice will aid in the learnings and optimization of the practices that will help your company thrive and produce healthy harvests.
