Inspiration or Obligation?
Inspiration or obligation. The job may be the same, but mindset changes everything. Legacy consultant Alan Hojer with the Keep Farmers Farming program says family dynamics on the farm or ranch are no different.
inspired to work together, then we're going to do everything we can to find success. If we feel obligated, then we're kind of in survival mode. We're not working the business together like we should be. We're not communicating like we should be. There's a lot of things that we're just not going to be doing well if we're working under the mindset of obligation. But if we're inspired, we're looking for that opportunity.
Hojer says inspiration, rooted in a shared goal or vision, fuels positive communication and progress. Obligation, on the other hand, puts families into survival mode. For farms and ranches transitioning to the next generation or handing over the reins, inspiration creates peace and purpose that obligation never can. The Keep Farmers Farming program helps families tap into that inspiration.
As a third party were able to come in and have the right conversations with everybody to try to understand the current mindset that they're in. And as that picture begins to unfold, we can begin to build a picture where you want to go because it's your vision. And ultimately, through that process, people shift from obligation to being inspired, because they now feel like they're going somewhere and they're excited to keep going.
And that's really what the third-party consultation does.
