## Resource

In this episode, Lyndsay and Shannon discuss how to find and manage great employees for flower farms. They emphasize that prior flower experience isn't essential — personality and mindset matter most. The key traits they look for include personal ownership, curiosity, flexibility, toughness, and the ability to thrive in a focused role. They also highlight the importance of clear communication, realistic expectations, positive company culture, and strong leadership. The episode encourages farm owners to let go of perfectionism and build teams that allow them to step back from daily operations.
