As a “farm kid”, I’ve had a lot of experience with weeds – working hard to eliminate them so that we can grow the crops we needed on our farm. And I’ve spent my fair share of pulling them as an adult both at my house and still at the farm.
And while I can’t quite say that I’ve ever thought of weeds when I think about leadership, but thanks to another challenge from one of you, our viewers, today I am drawing lessons from a garden weed for leaders.
Tweet it out: The next time you pull a weed remember to decide you want to be as persistent as the weed. @KevinEikenberry

Leadership and garden weeds! You accepted the challenge I gave and KUDOS–you scored! Leaders are persistent, determined, play to their strengths, and context matters. Love it! Be as persistent as the weed.
I’m impressed! Thank you for your ongoing commitment to leadership development and doing it in a fun way!
