Farmers, Is Workplace Conflict on Your Farm creative or Destructive?

Date March 9, 2010

Whether this article is specifically about farm planning or not we believe it has information of potential value to you. For the most part what works for in-town companies also works on the farm, with a little modification and creativity.

They don’t waste time on what’s not working just because it was the bosses idea.

They stop what they’re doing and point out the other person’s mistake then show them how to fix it. Nothing and no one or their opinion is sacred – it’s all about getting the job done.

Sadly I have seen experts try to get them to change their behavior.

So instead of helping their clients manage the destructive conflict that exists, they are offering suggestions on how to fix what isn’t broken.

You have two options.

#1, you can keep working forever (ok you may be able to find someone to rent it) until you simply wear out and die. At that point your widow can put it up for sale.

#2, you negotiate the sale of your place in advance, getting the best price and terms possible, so that your family’s financial future position is secured and known well in advance.

For most of those who choose Option #1 getting the maximum value for your lifetime of hard work is a pipe dream. Read the rest of this entry »
