Strategic Leadership Workshop

 

Are you a food or agriculture processor and want to learn how to develop strategic leadership within your company or organization?

 

Due to popular demand, Alberta Agriculture and Forestry (AF) is again offering the full-day Strategic Leadership Workshop with Dr. Brynn Winegard, this time from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on November 23, 2017, at the Agriculture Business Centre, 6547 Sparrow Drive, Leduc. 

 

“Dr. Brynn Winegard will inform you of the skills required to master each element of successful leadership, the key issues facing leaders, and the leaders’ role and core purpose,” says Lisa Iwanyk, development officer, AF. “Every segment of the day is complemented with individual exercises and group activities to allow you a chance to apply what you learn and to hone your personal leadership capabilities.”

 

Before the workshop, participants will receive an assignment to familiarize themselves with the framework and to get them thinking about their own strategic leadership challenges.

 

Video: Millions of Potatoes… Then They ALL Avalanched!

We’re back in the potato cellar today scooping out the rest of the pile—and things got interesting fast.

Between frozen valves, a breakdown on the scooper, and trying to keep trucks moving, it turned into one of those real farming days where nothing goes exactly as planned. We even had to get creative with some quick fixes just to keep going.

Once we got rolling again, we started pulling vents, triggering some pretty satisfying potato avalanches, and making a big dent in the pile. There’s still a lot left to go, but we’re getting closer every load.

Also talked a bit about why we decided to turn off channel memberships and what’s next for the channel moving forward.

Appreciate all the support—you guys are the reason we get to do this every day.
