Determination, leadership, and passion … these are only a few of the numerous traits that keep companies thriving. And most cattlemen exhibit those qualities everyday. But what about your employees?
Bob Milligan, Ph.D. of Agriculture Economics, is an expert on the best ways to hire and motivate farm employees. Milligan’s main question for all small business owners and managers is: how can you instill self-motivation in your employees? “The only real motivation is self motivation,” states Milligan. So, how can you, as a leader, create a positive work environment that will result in self motivation?
Fortunately for these tough economic times, increasing employee motivation doesn’t have to cost a lot. “The beauty of leadership is that, yes, it does take time, but it doesn’t cost money,” states Milligan. Milligan will share more about instilling self-motivation and being an effective leader during his presentation at the Northwest Iowa BeefMeet in Spencer on June 22.
