As I am up with the my family on the farm where I grew up I am reminded of how healthy things grow and sick things die. On the farm healthy animals and crops grow. Sick ones don’t, and often die. It is the same in organizations isn’t it? Healthy people and organizations grow and sick ones get stagnant and even die.

When we take the time to water and cultivate relationships, ideas, and competencies growth is nearly certain. However, when we get complacent and careless, we start to shrivel. Many say, “The grass is greener on the other side”. The truth is it is greener where one tends to it. Tend to your relationships, clients and organizations daily and see great growth, and green pasture!
