Are You A Member Of A Family Farm Business?

Sep 1, 2022 | Leadership

Are you a member of a family farm business?

  • Do you have days when the team is disconnected?
  • Do you experience challenges in sharing ideas or communicating effectively as a team?
  • Do you feel out of the loop in decision-making?
  • Do you experience power struggles within the family?
  • Do you wonder how you fit into this working family?

Trust is the foundation for any business. From trust comes the confidence to communicate effectively and welcome difficult conversations. Once we have achieved this, we are able to make commitments the team can follow, which then enables the group to hold each other accountable and achieve the desired results. These are the Five Behaviors of a Functional Team.

In a farm family working environment, it is easy to fall into old patterns and old roles – father/child, mother/child, rather than as working peers. This doesn’t happen automatically; this takes focus, dedication and a few best practices. For most of us, we have never been taught effective communication skills, peaceful conflict resolution or building trust in the workplace.

Let us help you become a cohesive, productive team that embraces differences and celebrates change. We are specialists in behavior change. We will work with you to establish work protocols, clear lines of communication, and workplace standards to ensure an effective balance of team roles.
