Bring Winemaker Wisdom

Bring Winemaker Wisdom to
your Leadership Team

My Mission: Enjoy and Learn more
about Wines while decanting lessons in leadership from the Wine
makers of Mendoza. How can Wisdom from 3 distinguished Wine makers
help your business? Let's take a peak at the philosophy and
practices of 3 Wise Wine Men and find out. Our thanks for your
passion, your patience, your depth of knowledge and continuous study
of the Fruit of the Gods:
(Walter and Bodega Bressia, Familia
Cassone and Bodega Tempus Alba). VIP Tour arranged by Ampora Wine
Tours.
The Importance of Tasting and
Correction. All of these wine makers care for each harvest as they
do their own children. There is daily tasting and testing of wine
waiting in wooden barrels for the precise moment when the product is
ready to be bottled and worthy of their family name....In short when
the child is at long last, ready to go into the world. There is also
correction that occurs along the way and every year there is the
pursuit of an even better quality. Successful companies know that
the key to longevity is indeed such hands-on attention and care by
Senior Management and a commitment to continually improve both
product and process.
It's About People: The charming
Frederico Cassone is passionate about his family wine and jokes that
"If you don't like my wine, don't worry! Wine is about people, just
like me!" Although this family need not worry about people liking
their wines, (The Obra Prima Malbec was both rustic and deliciously
elegant) indeed we were so charmed by this young man, that if the
wine was not to our liking, we would have bought it anyway as a
memory for the experience he provided. Indeed as a consumer myself,
I simply do business with people I like. You could have a great
product, but if you provide poor service, I'm out of here. Make sure
you put likable people on your front line as your Ambassadors.
Importance of Branding Each of
these Wine makers seeks to have everyone recognize it's brand and
indeed develop brand loyalty. If you don't stand out from your
competitors, you'll begin to look just like them. Who wants to be
just another red?
Don't rely on one Profit Center and
Protect your Big Crop: To minimize risk from inclement weather
conditions, wine makers often have various vineyards in different
locations i.e. if one area is hit by grapefruit size hale (no joke),
the other finca is their insurance for needed production. The Finca
Owners also frequently plant olive trees as a second crop for
multiple profit centers. Protect your production by not relying
solely on one product or supplier. As for protecting that big crop,
Finca Owners use protective weather screening as well as decoy fruit
trees so that when the grapes are ripe, the birds will go for the
sacrificial fruit on the trees and not the grapes. I'm not sure you
want a sacrificial employee to bear the brunt of your customer's ire
but you may want to have a stock of gift certificates for angry
customers.
Take Care of your Employees and
Vendors/Suppliers. One of the wine makers we talked with noted that
if one of his grape suppliers has a bad year due to inclement
weather, he will still buy from him because that relationship in the
long-term is so critical. I have witnessed the breakdown in
communication and partnership between business owner and vendor. The
result is backlogged orders, declining customer service and in the
end declining profits. Take care of Vendor Partners that enable you
to serve customers.
Use Technology / Argentina's recent
Wine Renaissance is due in large part to new technology brought in
by Foreign Investment. That technology has enabled the country to
maintain it's long tradition and history in wine making but increase
both production, quality and earn a growing world-wide reputation.
The Bodega Tempus Alba is involved in long-term research in their
quest to develop the perfect Malbec--Argentina's signature grape.
Cloning from the current best vines, continual quality improvement
is assured.
Develop a Global Perspective. The
Cassone family has raised their children to always come back home to
Argentina, but to first receive education and work experience
abroad. Walter Bressia noted that when he begins thinking of
creating the perfect wine "He leaves Argentina and first envisions
the end consumer in the United States, In France, In Canada." Walter
said that part of his success has also been working for and learning
from other companies before venturing into his own project. Lesson
for Business: Welcome and seek employees that have experience beyond
your business doors to develop a global and industry perspective.
Passion is The Secret: I asked
Walter, who has a distinguished name in wine making, what are the
qualities needed of a successful winemaker? "Passion for Wine is # 1
and loving what you do" is # 2" he said. Walter's sincerity was
undeniable as he chatted with us in his wine cellar "What I have
given to the wine is minuscule in comparison to what the wine has
given to me" . Walter acknowledged the patience of his wife for his
"other woman--aka wine". He laughed and noted that "I am better with
wine than with women...the wines allow me for improvement ".
Successful Business Leaders don't just go to the office they have a
passion that is undeniable.

Planning Programs for Adult Learners
The ongoing education and training of
adults has become a necessity in many professional areas. Yet the
staff who set up and administer these programs often lack skills for
the very task that is so critical to the success of their efforts--the
planning of the programs themselves. Drawing on the tremendous success
of the first edition, Planning Programs for Adult Learners, Second
Edition covers the development of adult education programs in clear,
specific detail. This popular guide contains information on every area
of program planning for adult learners, from understanding the purpose
of educational programs to obtaining suitable facilities. Thoroughly
expanded and revised, the book contains a wealth of new material and
examples, and features new information on incorporating technology
into the development and practice of adult education programs.
Educators and practitioners alike will find this guide to be an
essential tool. |

The Values of Presidential Leadership (Jepson Studies in Leadership)
In this volume, presidential scholars
from communication, history, law, philosophy, political science, and
psychology explore the broader phenomenon of leadership. Like
leadership more generally, presidential leadership is a value-laden
activity, an exercise in communication, and a collective enterprise.
It is also subject to psychological and historical barriers to
interpretation. Finally, presidential leadership is instrumental:
presidents must achieve their valued ends. Contributors address each
of these aspects of leadership in essays on how presidential values
are determined or constructed, how they are condoned and criticized,
how they are packaged and conveyed, and how they are interpreted and
acted upon.

Transformational and charismatic
leadership represent the "new leadership genre." These theories and
models represent a set of approaches to leadership (not management)
that can help us understand how certain leaders foster performance
beyond expected standards by developing an emotional attachment with
followers and other leaders, which is tied to a common cause and
contributes to the "greater good" or larger collective. It is
leadership that is individually considerate, intellectually
stimulating, inspirationally motivational, visionary, and of high
moral and ethical standards. Transformational and charismatic
leadership involve a unique bonding among leaders and followers -
emotional attachment, respect, and trust form the basis of these
approaches. The purpose of this book is to assess the
state-of-the-art of transformational and charismatic leadership
theory and methods. The contributors to this volume review the past,
