Have you ever met a CEO or company president that feels he or she is of celebrity status? Unfortunately, it\u2019s not uncommon these days. We live in a celebrity-centric world, where\u00a0emphasis\u00a0is put on what and how many events you attend, how many hands you shake, and the number of followers one has accumulated on social media.<\/span><\/p>\n

While this celebrity-centric culture might be good for one\u2019s ego, it\u2019s not at all good for businesses and organizations that operate under them. I recognize the importance of finding the right leaders to set policy and provide direction and vision, but as a\u00a0president\u00a0I do not believe I\u2019m the most important person in our company.<\/span><\/p>\n

Without our software engineers and the product development team, we would not have a product to offer our clients. Without our support team, we could not offer the amazing service that receives so many compliments. Without our sales team, we could not engage with potential clients who are so desperately trying to gain an advantage in the development of their next royalty-paying hybrid or variety. And without our administrators, we could not keep the company running.<\/span><\/p>\n

Providing we surround ourselves with the best managers and leaders, then we get the best and wisest council possible, resulting in a stronger company more in-tune with our clients\u2019 needs.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, what do I do? I tie it all together, I help it run and I empower the employees to do the best job they can. It\u2019s an important job, but it\u2019s not the most important. One of the ways I try to empower employees is by encouraging them to think beyond a problem, to think toward a solution. From there, it\u2019s the job of the leadership team to determine if the solution is appropriate or if it needs adjusting.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the best pieces of advice ever given to me was when I was working in England at a<\/span><\/p>\n

vegetable processing factory. My boss, Steve Higgins, said: \u201cDon\u2019t come to me with a problem; come to me with a solution.\u201d And we worked side-by-side as a team for 6 years.<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s the same culture that we have here at Agronomix. It\u2019s not a\u00a0top down\u00a0company, but rather a side-by-side. By encouraging employees to think about solutions, it brings them to a leadership mindset, compared to \u201cjust an employee\u201d mindset.<\/span><\/p>\n

I believe that by empowering others, our team will feel they work for a company that encourages both personal and professional growth, and as a\u00a0result\u00a0Agronomix will continue to push the envelope in delivering solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n
