Holly Hambruch (Agribusiness)

I recently participated in an online class called “Dare to Lead” and what they presented as the definition of a leader really struck me and seems fitting here. Leader = Anyone who takes responsibility for finding the potential in people and processes and has the courage to develop that potential. I think in my role as a BPL I am presented with many opportunities to strengthen supportive leadership. By visiting locations and developing relationships in those locations, I can encourage others who have the potential to impact the company in ways they may not have considered yet. Encouraging others to be a voice and empower those around them by stepping outside the box and sometimes doing things that might seem uncomfortable (sharing ideas on a TEAMS call). Also by recognizing when a process needs some work or seeing a process have great success that might be useful to a much larger audience and making sure to share that thought with others. I have been fortunate in my various roles with Wilbur-Ellis to always have had supportive leadership around me that continuously encouraged me to push myself to the next level and I want to do the same for others.
