Three Management Training Tips You Can Learn From Farmers

Don't hire someone for a position you won't let them fill. This is especially true of start-ups, emerging growth firms and family-owned businesses that are outgrowing the family. The hands-off necessity of letting children make their own mistakes, take that bike tumble, or try out for the team and stumble is no less true for business management than for parents.

Machiavelli says, "The first method for estimating the intelligence of a ruler is to look at the men around him." (Of course today, we recognize both men and women fill these roles.) Creating a successor, implementing a new process, or any other major "structural change" involving people must be managed even more programatically than installing a new computer system, since it's almost 100 percent "soft"ware (power-plays and relationships) and only incidentally hardware (the physical trappings of office location, arrangement, lighting, product flow, and so on).

When thinking about this management process, picture putting into place a 'channel' through your organization. Once you excavate a trench, ensure the proper grade downstream and regulate the flow, the right quantity of water reaching your desired destination is inevitable.

First, excavate the trench

Grooming your successor (or putting into place other organizational changes involving personnel) means following through daily and weekly on dredging this channel to clear it of the debris that comes from different corners of the organization, consciously or unconsciously. Dredging the silt of repeated interference, indifference, ignorance and mistrust by fellow senior staff members uncomfortable with the prospects of genuine long-lasting change, is real work.

Ensure the proper downstream grade

The key to a successful management transition or other change in a small company is to repeat, repeat, repeat, ad nauseam, the vision, mission and values of the organization - both privately and publicly - to each individual within the firm.

Obviously, if the message is not explicitly articulated and plastered everywhere, people can't follow something of which they're not aware. Setting, testing for fit, shaping and refitting the mission, vision and values criteria is the dual task of the chief executive and the senior management team.

The chief executive officer's (CEO's) task is to ensure that his or her chosen successor does not get swept away by the rush of business activity, or slip and drown from the silt of political intrigue underfoot. It is in the bosses' "economically enlighten self-interest" to step in and correct the things that his or her protege does wrong - mistakes made personally, not professionally, including procrastination.

Regulate the flow

Finally, you must regulate the flow of water running through that organizational channel to keep it from spilling over and creating a mess. You need to be alert for seasonal fluctuations, and you have to stick to your plan for increasing capacity as the business grows.

There are two fundamental points you to which you must agree if you want to bring your firm to or maintain it at the market position that your health and retirement deserve:

· You have all the time there is.

· You have all the time you need.

Those last two words make all the difference in the world. Both sentences must be lived, understood, and most of all, believed, because without believing the second, you'll fight the truth of the first.
