Scoreboards don’t change the game, plays do. In this episode we explore how leaders can move from broad outcomes to actionable steps that keep their teams on track. This conversation digs into the difference between lagging goals (the scoreboard) and leading goals (the plays), and why both matter. More importantly, it offers a leader’s perspective on creating markers along the way—so employees know where they stand, how their work connects, and how to keep moving in a straight line rather than in circles. With real-world examples from sales, safety, and operations, we show how clear leading goals motivate people, prevent drift, and give supervisors tools to coach progress in real time.

Leadership Transformation Program

Learn about how to develop YOUR ag leaders by scheduling time with the People Spark ® team. 96% of employees want feedback – constructive OR recognition. Yet another survey found that only 5% of managers provide critical feedback to employees – even though it’s important for their development. Nearly half of managers (44%) find giving feedback stressful. Nearly a quarter (21%) avoid giving it altogether.

Our leadership transformation program was designed to be straightforward and practical, providing content in digestible chunks, supporting participants through personalized feedback, and providing participants an environment to learn with other ag leaders across the country.

In many instances, managers just aren’t comfortable with WHAT to do, let alone HOW to do it. They feel it’s uncomfortable, they don’t want to demotivate employees and just aren’t sure how to do it. And the repercussions of NOT giving feedback end up impacting you and your business – through lower productivity and profitability, decreased employee engagement, and increased employee turnover.
