304: AgriLeader: Leadership and management for all
“Leadership and management are for all – you don’t need a title to be a leader”, Izak Van Heerden Senior Knowledge Exchange Manager. Earlier this year, we conducted a review of leadership and management in the UK farming sector, looking at best practice, traits, qualities, uptake, barriers and future needs. This review highlighted a shocking statistic that only 0.37% of farmers and their employees engage each year in any formal leadership and management training. In this episode, our AgriLeader team talk through some of the key findings from the review and explain how the it will influence our activity over the coming months. Read the full review here. What is AgriLeader? The AgriLeader programme provides a platform where like-minded farmers and growers can meet, exchange ideas and learn from consultants. The programme focuses on leadership, growth and resilience across three key areas: Leading yourself – developing a growth mindset and becoming more resilient Leading your team – inspiring your team to have a shared vision and purpose Leading your business – creating opportunities and questioning assumptions Find out more about our AgriLeader programme: ahdb.org.uk/agrileader How can you get involved?
