Greg Bell’s presentations are a highly entertaining and interactive way to teach your leaders and teams the fundamentals of the Water The Bamboo® methodology. Here are some of the key ideas.
- It's not about the bamboo.
Everyone wants rapid growth, but bamboo farmers know that what counts is the effort and the determination that precede any signs of growth. - The law of the farm.
Like farming, any kind of productive work requires patience and sustained effort. "The dictionary is the only place where success comes before work." —Vince Lombardi - Success requires effort over time.
Watering the bamboo means taking steps each day to manifest your vision. What effort can you make today to help yourself and your team? - Living in the relationship age.
The quality of your relationships will determine the quality of your bamboo. - Sustaining belief without seeing results.
Bamboo farmers have faith that their efforts will produce great results. How can you help develop faith in your vision and your team? - Grow other things in the meantime.
Since bamboo growth takes 4 to 5 years to break through the surface, bamboo farmers plant other crops to feed themselves in the meantime. - Instant gratification rarely works.
The lottery mentality creates more trouble and stress for teams than it’s worth.
