It is of paramount importance that the dynamic and challenging evolution in agriculture over the last century and a half be met today with imaginative leadership in virtually all aspects of activities and organizations involved.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eLeadership in Agriculture: Case Studies for a New Generation\u003c\/em\u003e focuses on key characteristics and elements of leadership. Using case studies from research, industry, education, administration, and extension services, the authors present real-world circumstances ranging from natural disasters to major restructuring that demanded problem solving, new initiatives, consensus, and organizational commitment. Drawing on their own experiences and covering topics as diverse as closing facilities, mounting a national research initiative, reinventing a major corporation, and dealing with invasive termites, the studies contain examples of both good and bad outcomes and tie back to the stated leadership principles and qualities.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Texas A\u0026#38;M University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52621538951448,"sku":"9781623493035","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/leadership-in-agriculture-case-studies-for-a-new-generation-paperback-softback-9781623493035","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
