 As a leader, taking note of the emergency spring, General Stanley McChrystal's comment on leading teams came to mind. The temptation to lead as a chess master controlling each move of the organization must give way to an approach as a gardener, enabling rather than directing, and a gardening approach to leadership is anything but passive. No matter the experience, a gardener can't direct a plant on how to grow. Rather, applying leader agrology to people, one can cultivate the soil, the systems, and strengthen our desired culture. Teams need caring, active leaders who water, feed, and weed in organizational garden. A leader who is truly aware allows individual growth in people and sees the value in enabling, nurturing, or tending rather than attempting to control the harvest. Be well this spring.
