Speaker: Welcome to the Cultivating Leaders podcast. I'm your host and curiosity captain, Nicole Ersig. If you are ready to lead better, think bigger, and grow faster, you're in the right place. We bring you real conversations with top leaders across food and agriculture, focused on the practical skills and mindsets you need to lead in today's environment.
Speaker: Today's guest is a visionary leader in agriculture who has built a career at the intersection of storytelling, innovation and global impact. Today's guest is a leader shaping how talent and teams evolve in a rapidly changing agricultural industry.
Speaker: Today's guest is a leader focused on building people, strengthening teams and driving success across a global organization. You said it takes a lot of courage to walk away, especially walking away from something good when it's not the right fit anymore.
Speaker: For you, how did you know when it wasn't right anymore? It's interesting, Julie, you are the second leader that we have talked to that's described your career or an organization kind of as a pyramid and broadening going out is just as important before going up. I'm sure there's been failures and I'm sure there's been painful feedback. How do you deal with and recommend for others to deal with kind of the pain of that growth? I'm curious first, what are your like top tips for for culture building of high performing teams?
Speaker: I'm going to flip that around. What mistakes do you see leaders make in attempting to build culture or build teams? I really like that too because I think often, especially for younger career people, it can be really intimidating to be in the room or be at the table. And you can feel like you need to have the answers or understand that the technical conversation or discussion. But sometimes what's most valuable is if you can ask valuable questions. You don't have to know all of the answers.
Speaker: When you put so much into work, and I think the way a lot of really good leaders do and people in agriculture do, right, because we're very passionate about what we do, How do you deal with the identity and change?
Speaker: And thanks to all our listeners for joining us for another episode of the Cultivating Leaders podcast, where leaders grow.
