Last week, Leo Johnson (recently retired chairman of Johnson Tractor, Janesville, Wis.) and I took our mutual friend and Farm Equipment inaugural Hall of Fame class inductee Paul Wallem to lunch.

One Deere dealer executive told Precision Farming Dealer the last time they heard about the Volocopter drone collaboration from John Deere was in early 2020 and that there have been no updates from John Deere since.

Dealerships are built on teamwork. And as a leader, you may not always know who and what contributes to your success. You can learn from others to build great teams to be the employer of choice. You can also learn from those who aren’t so great.
