In September 2022 John Boote from Drover Ag spoke to Mark Ferguson for the Head Shepherd Podcast<\/a> with\u00a0NextGen Agri <\/a>and spoke about building successful farm teams.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPutting the right people in the right jobs is what keeps us going\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPersonality matching is the most important thing\u201d John says. Sometimes it\u2019s not always about their qualifications or experience \u201cWe\u2019ll promote exceptional characters to roles where they may not have the desired skill set\u201d Skills can be taught, a personality is hard to change.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The message conveyed in the podcast is a common theme and a strong belief of John regarding supporting career progression in agriculture.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s about inclusion, support and furthering skills\u201d Not necessarily offering an extra $30k<\/p>\n

John also says \u201cIt\u2019s your challenge as a business owner to accommodate an employee as they progress in their career\u2026 if the ladder stops within your operation you can\u2019t blame them if they want to keep climbing\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
