May 2022 THE LEADER BUSINESS INSIGHTS AND A VICE TO HELP YOU STAY AHEAD OF THE CURVE Inbedded Video headline Wow, how the world has changed since our last edition of The Leader. It would be disingenuous not to mention what is happening in Ukraine, and this month we will be thinking about how to deal with such a paradigm shift while focusing on our circle of control and influence. Can we learn anything from the horror of war, or the kindness of strangers, that we can apply to modern leadership in the face of adversity?

2 AgriLeadership week 2022 This week is #AgriLeadershipWeek – a week dedicated to breaking down barriers and stereotypes about leadership. We want to show that leadership development is for everyone and accessible to all. When was the last time you invested in yourself? Make a pledge to develop your leadership skills this #AgriLeadershipWeek and you could win a one-to-one session with an industry leading mentor. How can we plan in a crisis? What we have all experienced in the last 12 months is unprecedented. Feed, fertiliser, fuel, and labour costs have all risen dramatically, squeezing margins from profit into loss. With all sectors forced to rein in inputs, this will lead to reduced yields and production. Left unchecked, there could be double-digit cuts in output across all sectors of UK food production. Surging energy prices are central to the potential cutbacks in output. Farming systems depend heavily on energy for fertiliser manufacture, food storage, crop drying, milk pasteurisation, and for heating everything from glasshouses to livestock sheds. And since Russia invaded Ukraine in February, energy costs have gone through the roof. Next month we’ll be holding a panel discussion with several key industry experts to discuss risk management. Join us as we go live at 6:30 pm on Thursday 9 June. If you’d like to submit questions ahead of the event, email info@beanstalk.global AgriLeadership week is a joint scheme organised by: AHDB, Nuffield Farming Scholarships Trust, the Institute for Agricultural Management, the Worshipful Company of Farmers, The Farmers Club Charitable Trust, Oxford Farming Conference, The Institute for Agriculture & Horticulture, and the Agricultural Universities Council.

3 Leading people: lessons from Ukraine’s President Why do people follow certain leaders? When the United States of America offered to evacuate President Zelensky, his response was: “I need ammunition, not a ride.” This article by Forbes looks at what it is about this 44-year-old politician that makes his fellow Ukrainians follow him into war and sing his praises. Some of his key attributes, which each of us can apply to our own situations, include authenticity, simple language and relatability. Find out more about these attributes and why people follow certain leaders Leading business: doing good isn’t just about altruism Amid the horror of war, we’ve seen amazing acts of kindness towards the people of Ukraine, and in this article we learn about a five-step model of why “doing good isn’t just about altruism. It’s how companies create value,” with a new business ethos called “brand citizenship”. Brand citizenship isn’t about a company sacrificing to better the world. It’s a model that integrates “doing good” activities with brand development to strengthen reputation and loyalty. Market impact of Ukraine conflict After a long period of geopolitical tension, Russia launched it’s invasion of Ukraine on Thursday 24 February. But earlier that month, with the war clouds still only looming, Rabobank published a report looking at “How we would pay for the war,” comparing three possible scenarios. Leading yourself: leading is tough right now, but you’ve got this The last few years have not been easy on leaders, but according to Harry Kraemer, American business executive, leadership author, and professor, good leadership looks a lot like it did pre-pandemic, and pre-war. “The requirements to be a leader have always remained pretty constant. It’s leading yourself, leading others, communicating like crazy, listening carefully, demonstrating you care.” Find out why self-reflection is even more critical during a crisis What activities can you implement to strengthen your business? Three months on, let’s see how it is playing out both internationally, with these perceptions from Rabobank,and closer to home, with these insights from AHDB’s analysts.
