• Organizing work - learning to break down work into small, manageable tasks and examining it to know it is being done right; then reassembling the tasks into more efficient and productive outcomes.
• Motivating employees - you are in the people business and you must be able to trust your employees; learn to delegate, see how to train, recognize the importance of monitoring results and applying intrinsic and extrinsic motivation.
• Organizing your dairy into a manageable business - the value of an organizational diagram of your dairy (who is the boss?) and descriptions for each position (workers) within your operation. It's how you make employees accountable.
• Organizing information - records that are essential to monitor work and employees, both results and expectations. You will see the value of "Key Performance Indicators" and how to monitor them daily.

• Structure and organization.
• Demonstration of work systems, written protocols and examples of "this is how we do it here."
• Examples of record systems that manage information accurately so the owner knows what's happening daily in every area of his dairy.

One of the biggest challenges dairy producers face is being effective people managers. The DairyWorks two-day Management Seminar will describe principles and demonstrate their implementation.
