OTHER BUSINESS ADJOURNMENT September 2011 “How many times have you rolled the four‐wheeler?” My mind races and then froze. I stammered something about the details of the first couple of times. “Have you learned anything from it?” my boss asked. It was a good question. The night before, I’d rolled his two‐month‐old Yamaha Grizzly while applying weed killer on rangeland pasture. Quit Fearing the Boss As I changed sprinklers that morning ‐ and for several months after that ‐ I sorted through the frustrations of not feel‐ ing trusted and of making so many stupid mistakes. First, I realized responsibility is something you take in the moment, not just when problems emerge later. If I had ap‐ eplied th mental and physical energy my mother taught me to apply, the whole story would be different. But I got dis‐ tracted. My boss would give me detailed instructions and then summarize by saying “whatever’s easiest.” He probably meant for me to apply some initiative and ingenuity, but I started trying to avoid noticeable mistakes instead of taking re‐ sponsibility for each challenge. Take Pride in the Process Second, I made it my goal to set high standards and finish tasks to my satisfaction instead of worrying about what the boss thought or how he would do it. So when I worked for another farmer the next spring, I tried to understand each task: the ultimate objective, the mistakes to avoid, and the best way to accomplish each step in the process. Instead of memorizing step‐by‐step instructions, I thought it through until I knew what we wanted and how to get there. Certain tasks are more fun than others. The important thing is to recognize the intrinsic value of each task and care enough to pursue that value. Quit Fearing Results Third, I started to see results ‐ including whether my boss trusted me ‐ as feedback, sometimes indicating where I could improve and sometimes revealing factors beyond my control. It was easy to feel demoralized when the boss didn’t trust me. But it was also hard to blame him, and exhortations to “pay attention” or “believe in yourself” made me wonder what I should be focused on and how believing in myself would help when I was part of the problem. In order to break that downward spiral, I needed to focus on the process, listen to what results could tell me, and then get back to work on the process.
