Leadership - Farm & Wilderness

Written by Kory Mathis | November 04, 2010

Normally I research my purchases carefully, but yesterday I bought “The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership” off the sole virtue that it was the top selling book on Leadership on Amazon.

As with many of these books it uses rather conventional examples of success  such as the founder of McDonalds,  Ray Croc.      I haven’t finished the book,  but I suspect that the emphasis will stay on “big is better” and that Dr. Suess’s  Lorax is unlikely to feature as a leader.

At Farm and Wilderness accomplishing your goals and increasing your influence is only part of the story.

Leadership involves your ability to make positive influence on those around you and on society. We don’t leave people behind and we care about where they are at.    By doing so, we get a rare chance to see what can happen when a group of people isn’t competing but rather collaborating.

At Timberlake, our growth doesn’t end with the learning or even mastery of skill, but with the opportunity to pass on that knowledge.
