Whether you're a seasoned farmer, aspiring entrepreneur, or simply passionate about creating a more sustainable future, this episode is packed with valuable insights and inspiration to guide you on your journey.


ABOUT THE GUEST:
 
Will Harris is a fourth-generation cattleman, who tends the same land that his great-grandfather settled in 1866. Born and raised at White Oak Pastures, Will left home to attend the University of Georgia's School of Agriculture, where he was trained in the industrial farming methods that had taken hold after World War II. Will graduated in 1976 and returned to Bluffton where he and his father continued to raise cattle using pesticides, herbicides, hormones, and antibiotics. They also fed their herd a high-carbohydrate diet of corn and soy.

These tools did a fantastic job of taking the cost out of the system, but in the mid-1990s Will became disenchanted with the excesses of these industrialized methods. They had created a monoculture for their cattle, and, as Will says, "nature abhors a monoculture." In 1995, Will made the audacious decision to return to the farming methods his great-grandfather had used 130 years before.

Since Will has successfully implemented these changes, he has been recognized all over the world as a leader in humane animal husbandry and environmental sustainability. Will is the immediate past President of the Board of Directors of Georgia Organics. He is the Beef Director of the American Grassfed Association and was selected 2011 Business Person of the year for Georgia by the Small Business Administration.

Micromanagement is one of the biggest pitfalls managers and leaders face. The need to control and oversee every detail often stems from good intentions - you care about the quality of the work and want to ensure no balls are dropped. However, micromanaging not only disempowers employees but breeds resentment, kills creativity, and exhausts you. 

So how do you make the shift? This episode dives into the differences between management and leadership, and why micromanagers have a hard time making the transition. 

If your employees seem afraid to make a move without your say so, morale is dipping, and your timezone is everyone else’s timezone, this podcast episode will help you kick the micromanaging habit for good and empower your team to unleash their potential. The first step is awareness, the next is action.
