Episode 149: “Farm Boss Leadership” w/Dave Specht
In this week’s second episode, Tracy speaks with Dave Specht in this segment titled “Farm Boss Leadership.”
Dave is the Director of the Global Family Business Institute at The Drucker School of Management and author of the book “The Farm Whisperer.”
In this interview, Tracy and Dave discuss:
- They discuss the importance of developing ourselves as leaders and its impact on our farm operation, employees, family, and our mental health.
- Dave shares his thoughts on the importance of self-management.
- He shares more about the management principle commonly referred to as abandonment, and no, not the abandonment of the farm. We are definitely not encouraging that!
- No matter what we do on the farm, employees or no employees, we consistently lead with our presence. But what is our presence saying about our leadership? Dave shares some thoughts on how critical this is for a healthy family farm.

Harvesting Equipment ~75 YEARS of JOHN DEERE COMBINES~
John Deere combines have many things in common, but each combine was designed for specific needs. Do any of these apply to you? You’re a fleet owner and want to reduce your fleet; your fields or harvest conditions require you to harvest high-moisture corn or tough-threshing small grains; you are running a fully optimized combine today and you need to get more done in a day; or you would also need to upgrade your header to get more capacity. Consider these factors and contact your dealer to determine the best option.
