A first tendency of many business people is to fix things. After all, they re paid to solve problems, so the metaphor of the mechanic seems natural. But successful leaders invest energy in growing rather than fixing. They know the organization is a living organism with many interrelated elements, capable of extinction or growth.
Successful leaders are gardeners.
They don t rely on chance. They create a nurturing environment - or culture and they cultivate with care. Successful gardeners need reliable tools.
