Show Notes
This week on the Head Shepherd podcast we have Sally Murfet of Inspire Ag.
Sally is a farmer's daughter born and raised in North West Tasmania on a farm producing beef cattle and seed potatoes.
Sally established Inspire Ag after seeing a gap in the support system for the agriculture industry. There was no one helping farmers increase business performance through human capital.
"If you have a disengaged employee, it will cost you 30-200% of their wage to reemploy that staff member. Focusing on employee engagement lessens the need to try and attract people into your business in the first place."
A lot of the work Sally does is around succession planning, performance management leadership and team development.
Mark and Sally go through the components of a good team. Culture, Sally says, is one of the most undervalued factors in running a successful business.
There's research out there that says that leaders can have up to 70% variance on team engagement- positive or negative. So the way you show up every day, is exactly what you're going to see reflected in your team.
When you work out these performance issues in monetary terms, it can become a significant amount. Leadership and culture are not "fluffy things" but actual areas for production gain.
This is a great podcast that every farmer needs to listen to understand the true scale of what leadership and showing up properly for your team can do to the bottom line of your business.
