It’s all about the team

In rugby, there are clear, unchangeable rules, enforced by a referee. Each player has a position. There is a clear objective and a defined time frame for the game. There are also a lot of supporters. The players are your suppliers, managers and employees. You are the ref. The only difference between a farming business and rugby is that, as the ref, you get to make up your own rules and set the time frame. And the supporters? They are all the people who want the best for you, but whose opinion is best ignored. If you’ve ever listened to stadium chatter, you know what I mean! Your job is to outline the rules, assign positions to your team and set a time limit. Then make sure that everyone plays by your rules.
