Today more than ever before in the history of the poultry industry
there is a concerted effort to improve the working relationship
between the grower and the integrator.
Teamwork in Poultry Production picks up wher Larry Cole’s
previous book, Communication in Poultry Grower Relations,
left off. While the first book concentrated on organizational
improvement, this book focuses on the specific interpersonal skills
needed in the industry to create a synergistic working
relationship-a topic which, until now, has been largely
ignored.
Written in a down-to-earth training style, this book:
1 Details the interpersonal and communication issues that
determine the success of the employee-grower working
relationship
2 Outlines the responsibilities of both the contract grower and
the company employee, providing a detailed description of what each
party can do to improve the working relationship on the farm
3 Creates a behavioral blueprint that can be easily implemented
by the entire grower-employee network
4 Serves as the resource for ongoing training efforts with
employees and growers
