Managing for Success Workshops Scheduled

If you own or manage a horticultural or agricultural business, you won’t want to miss the Managing for Success Workshops!  These unique, interactive workshops sponsored by The Ohio State University Extension and North Central Risk Management Education Center, are designed to assist individuals with their business and personal goals through improved management of human and financial resources.

Participants of the 6 half day workshop will have the opportunity to interact with other agricultural and horticultural oriented individuals, to study efficient management systems and as a result, obtain skills that can change their businesses.  Workshop topics are sure to answer questions to assist in identifying opportunities that will enhance your ability to manage your business; developing mission statements, objectives, goals and tactics for your business; understanding the 5 basic management functions; apply basic management concepts and skills to your business; finding, recruiting, selecting, hiring and training employees to become an effective part of your team; and learn how to utilize financial and other resource people.
