Vague goals make people walk in circles while thinking they’re on track. In this episode, we turn “grow” and “do better than last year” into specific, observable behaviors at every level—like the retail “ask in the aisle,” kitchen-first convenience store strategy, and cross-selling that respects relationships. You’ll learn how to set role-based goals that workers can actually act on, create shared targets across business units, and give leaders simple language that keeps everyone pointed at the same landmark.

Leadership Transformation Program

Learn about how to develop YOUR ag leaders by scheduling time with the People Spark ® team. 96% of employees want feedback – constructive OR recognition. Yet another survey found that only 5% of managers provide critical feedback to employees – even though it’s important for their development. Nearly half of managers (44%) find giving feedback stressful. Nearly a quarter (21%) avoid giving it altogether.

Our leadership transformation program was designed to be straightforward and practical, providing content in digestible chunks, supporting participants through personalized feedback, and providing participants an environment to learn with other ag leaders across the country.

In many instances, managers just aren’t comfortable with WHAT to do, let alone HOW to do it. They feel it’s uncomfortable, they don’t want to demotivate employees and just aren’t sure how to do it. And the repercussions of NOT giving feedback end up impacting you and your business – through lower productivity and profitability, decreased employee engagement, and increased employee turnover.

Your values already exist. They are hiding in what people do every day. This conversation shows leaders how to surface those behaviors without judgment, organize them into themes, and name values in plain language your team will actually use. We share facilitation tips, coaching scripts, and examples of how clear values make tough calls easier. Two Sparks close the show so you can move from theory to practice right away.
