Law of the Harvest draws workplace lessons from an unusual source: farming. It is an enlightening look at the true meaning of ‘reaping what you sow,’ and the importance of a strong work ethic.

Viewers meet Grant Neibaur, a potato farmer whose work, like all farmers,’ is largely dictated by Mother Nature (thus quite unpredictable). Grant illustrates the folly of seeking quick-fix solutions. Persistence, patience and perseverance, as well as attention to detail, are imperative: with potato farming, it takes three to four years from soil prep to harvest; short-cuts simply don’t cut it.

The unpredictable nature of farming provides an excellent backdrop, bringing to light that each task has great impact on the outcome. It’s an opportunity to examine process, quality, competence, timeliness, sacrifice and preparation.

With Law of the Harvest viewers learn to:

• examine the benefits and drawbacks of taking shortcuts
• tackle projects with thorough preparation and planning
• develop new behavior patterns for ‘doing things the right way’
• draw upon priorities and core values when meeting the challenge(s) of change and more.

Law of the Harvest is an opportunity to create success in your organization from the ground up, thanks to Dr. Steven Covey, founder and chair of the Covey Leadership Center and author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
