Commercial plant nursery operations depend on people to cultivate and get the products to market. Growing the people who grow the plants, has become a singular challenge for nursery operators. Every person in a leadership role, must know how to develop, manage and motivate the people who work every day to produce top quality ornamental plants. Today's labor shortages demand a more proactive approach in developing business leaders throughout the organization. This demand makes it imperative for managers and supervisors to be able to understand their employees and develop the technical capacities to enable every individual to be successful in growing top quality ornamental plant products. Growing People Who Grow Plants, presents a practical approach for developing more effective leadership skills across a focused spectrum of typical nursery operations. The manuscript, functions as a practical guide as well as theoretical jumping point for new ideas and implementation of best practices.
