Accountability and commitment to company objectives

Start early lay out all the duties for the day. Got to communicate properly that each and everyone understands exactly what is expected from them to achieve the expected result. Don't take thinkgs for granted, don't accept that people understand what you trying to say, make sure. There is a lot of gratitude and fulfilment when people progress in life. Plant growth from a seed to a fruit is very addictive. The political aspects in our country make things quite challenging!

Pros: Very fulfilling, work with a lot of people, satisfying to see people grow.
Cons: Lot of hours, work with a lot of uneducated people that can be challenging.

Excellent stepping up opportunity

A typical farm environment where you start early make sure everybody is tasked, know exactly what they must do according to production plan. My relationship with co-workers is quite straight and honest. The best approach is to be pro active and sincere with workers. I'm addicted to natural growth and life outside in nature. It is quite a challenge to line up something that is so rewarding with market demand and cycles to reach company profitability.

Pros: Quite rewarding as you work outdoors a lot, and plants react to your interventions.
Cons: Affected by the economy, markets, climate etc.
