Are you cultivating the whole "farm system?"
So are you? You may be asking "what does he mean?" Here's what I mean, John Maxwell discusses in his book "The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership" companies with leaders who were losing leaders to go lead other companies. If you've developed your leadership skills and helped grow your team into these same type of leaders, your going to lose people. Therefore, growing your own next set of leaders becomes an ultra important concept and will help maintain the level of growth and leadership in your organization.
Major League Baseball teams have their farm system with their Minor League affiliated clubs. A General Manager has to keep track of what's happening at the big league level and what they are doing at the minor league level to know what they have and what they need. The St Louis Cardinals have made quite a run building a great farm system.
So what can do to develop your farm system. Today, I found out a lead player in my group is probably moving out. In staying positive and realizing that I have some really quality players behind him who don't graduate for a couple of years and I know there are more coming in the "farm system."
