Trees Make Good Teachers.
Trees make good teachers.
They lecture in my business school.
They’re not big talkers, I grant you.
But no less good teachers.
Especially for work, for your business.
They have achieved much of what you strive for:
Year on year growth.
Super long term, sustainable proposition.
Dependable.
Reliable.
Ever present.
Good times.
How to be more tree?
- Be invested in your community. Trees love a bit of give and take.
- Focus on little and often growth. No giant strides. Just a little and often.
- Know your limits. They don’t grow forever. Nothing does.
- Embrace the pollard. The chop. The cull. By shrinking back every few years, they embrace new opportunity for growth.
