They prepare the soil, monitor water levels, and keep the pests away.? When they do this, the plants do the “work”." That is a fantastic analogy. Too often, as managers, we try to force the individual employee to fit the organization, rather than simply providing a productive environment and the proper tools, then standing back and letting the employee grow and flower. Most employees want nothing more than to do that anyway. The "weeds" can be dealt with on an individual basis, but most employees need not be. “Farmers don’t spend their days tending to individual plants.?

They want to produce and produce bountifully." - Michelle - This couldn't be more true. In our corporation I see constant reminders of how much good peoples self-esteem is related to their work productivity. Harnessing this "dna" respectfully can give a company a huge edge over it's competition. Brent M Quote: “People are wired to work.?

So true that the best work is done when employers simply create a fruitful environment and let the workers do their jobs.
