Rose Barringer is a 74-year old woman with metastatic breast cancer who has undergone treatment for 10 years. She informs her oncologist that she is tired and does not want any further treatment.

David Speller owns several poultry farming operations that raise Ross 308 broiler chickens for customers. He discusses expanding operations to a total of 2.25 million birds per year across multiple farms. Key factors for success include efficiency, optimal welfare standards, good customer relations, appropriate scale, and sound investment. Data from monitoring systems like eyenamic cameras and automatic weighing help ensure bird welfare and peak performance, with average daily live weight gain increasing after introducing eyenamic monitoring. Proper facilities, feed management, and cleaning/disinfection are also essential to reach the genetic potential of the high-performing Ross 308 birds.
This document summarizes a presentation about probiotics in poultry nutrition. It discusses how single-strain probiotics often fail to reliably impact birds because they do not colonize the entire gastrointestinal tract or stay long after consumption stops. An effective probiotic should be multi-strain, species-specific, and well-positioned to colonize the whole GI tract, multiply faster, and be less eliminated. Trials demonstrate that the probiotic PoultryStar reduced issues like lameness, inflammation, and necrotic enteritis in poultry. The presentation provides information on selecting probiotic strains and applying probiotics in poultry to enhance immunity and gut health.

"Being responsible sometimes means pissing people off.""Being responsible sometimes means pissing people off."
Good leadership involves responsibility to the welfare of the group, which
means that some people will get angry at your actions and decisions. It's
inevitable, if you're honorable. Trying to get everyone to like you is a sign
of mediocrity: you'll avoid the tough decisions, you'll avoid confronting the
people who need to be confronted, and you'll avoid offering differential
rewards based on differential performance because some people might
get upset. Ironically, by procrastinating on the difficult choices, by trying
not to get anyone mad, and by treating everyone equally "nicely" regardless
of their contributions, you'll simply ensure that the only people you'll wind
up angering are the most creative and productive people in the organization.

day you have stopped leading them. They have either lostday you have stopped leading them. They have either lost
confidence that you can help them or concluded that youconfidence that you can help them or concluded that you
do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership."do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership."
If this were a litmus test, the majority of CEOs would fail. One, they build so
many barriers to upward communication that the very idea of someone lower
in the hierarchy looking up to the leader for help is ludicrous. Two, the
corporate culture they foster often defines asking for help as weakness or
failure, so people cover up their gaps, and the organization suffers accordingly.
Real leaders make themselves accessible and available. They show concern
for the efforts and challenges faced by underlings, even as they demand high
standards. Accordingly, they are more likely to create an environment where
problem analysis replaces blame.
4. LESSON 3LESSON 3

Small companies and start-ups don't have the time for analytically detached
experts. They don't have the money to subsidize lofty elites, either. The
president answers the phone and drives the truck when necessary; everyone
on the payroll visibly produces and contributes to bottom-line results or they're
history. But as companies get bigger, they often forget who "brought them to
the dance": things like all-hands involvement, egalitarianism, informality,
market intimacy, daring, risk, speed, agility. Policies that emanate from
ivory towers often have an adverse impact on the people out in the field
who are fighting the wars or bringing in the revenues. Real leaders are
vigilant, and combative, in the face of these trends.
5. LESSON 4LESSON 4
"Don't be afraid to challenge the pros,"Don't be afraid to challenge the pros,
even in their own backyard."even in their own backyard."
Learn from the pros, observe them, seek them out as mentors and partners.
But remember that even the pros may have leveled out in terms of their
learning and skills. Sometimes even the pros can become complacent and
lazy. Leadership does not emerge from blind obedience to anyone. Xerox's
Barry Rand was right on target when he warned his people that if you have
a yes-man working for you, one of you is redundant. Good leadership
encourages everyone's evolution.
6. LESSON 5LESSON 5
"Never neglect details. When everyone's mind is dulled"Never neglect details. When everyone's mind is dulled
or distracted the leader must be doubly vigilant."or distracted the leader must be doubly vigilant."
Strategy equals execution. All the great ideas and visions in the world are
worthless if they can't be implemented rapidly and efficiently. Good leaders
delegate and empower others liberally, but they pay attention to details, every
day. (Think about supreme athletic coaches like Jimmy Johnson, Pat Riley
and Tony La Russa). Bad ones, even those who fancy themselves as
progressive "visionaries," think they're somehow "above" operational details.
Paradoxically, good leaders understand something else: an obsessive routine
in carrying out the details begets conformity and complacency, which in turn
dulls everyone's mind. That is why even as they pay attention to details, they
continually encourage people to challenge the process. They implicitly
understand the sentiment of CEO leaders like Quad Graphic's Harry
Quadracchi, Oticon's Lars Kolind and the late Bill McGowan of MCI, who all
independently asserted that the Job of a leader is not to be the chief organizer,
but the chief dis-organizer.
7. LESSON 6LESSON 6
"You don't know what you can get away with until you try.""You don't know what you can get away with until you try."
You know the expression, "it's easier to get forgiveness than permission." Well,
it's true. Good leaders don't wait for official blessing to try things out. They're
prudent, not reckless. But they also realize a fact of life in most organizations:
if you ask enough people for permission, you'll inevitably come up against
someone who believes his job is to say "no." So the moral is, don't ask. Less
effective middle managers endorsed the sentiment, "If I haven't explicitly been
told 'yes,' I can't do it," whereas the good ones believed, "If I haven't explicitly
been told 'no,' I can." There's a world of difference between these two points
of view.
8. LESSON 7LESSON 7
"Keep looking below surface appearances."Keep looking below surface appearances.
Don't shrink from doing so (just) because youDon't shrink from doing so (just) because you
might not like what you find."might not like what you find."
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it" is the slogan of the complacent, the arrogant or the
scared. It's an excuse for inaction, a call to non-arms. It's a mind-set that
assumes (or hopes) that today's realities will continue tomorrow in a tidy, linear
and predictable fashion. Pure fantasy. In this sort of culture, you won't find
people who pro-actively take steps to solve problems as they emerge. Here's
a little tip: don't invest in these companies.
9. LESSON 8LESSON 8
"Organization doesn't really accomplish anything. Plans"Organization doesn't really accomplish anything. Plans
don't accomplish anything, either. Theories of managementdon't accomplish anything, either. Theories of management
don't much matter. Endeavors succeed or fail because ofdon't much matter. Endeavors succeed or fail because of
the people involved. Only by attracting the best people willthe people involved. Only by attracting the best people will
you accomplish great deeds."you accomplish great deeds."
In a brain-based economy, your best assets are people. We've heard this
expression so often that it's become trite. But how many leaders really "walk
the talk" with this stuff? Too often, people are assumed to be empty chess
pieces to be moved around by grand viziers, which may explain why so many
top managers immerse their calendar time in deal making, restructuring and
the latest management fad. How many immerse themselves in the goal of
creating an environment where the best, the brightest, the most creative are
attracted, retained and, most importantly, unleashed?
10. LESSON 9LESSON 9
"Organization charts and fancy titles count for next to nothing.""Organization charts and fancy titles count for next to nothing."
Organization charts are frozen, anachronistic photos in a work place that ought
to be as dynamic as the external environment around you. If people really
followed organization charts, companies would collapse. In well-run
organizations, titles are also pretty meaningless. At best, they advertise
some authority, an official status conferring the ability to give orders and
induce obedience. But titles mean little in terms of real power, which is the
capacity to influence and inspire. Have you ever noticed that people will
personally commit to certain individuals who on paper (or on the organization
chart) possess little authority, but instead possess pizzazz, drive, expertise,
and genuine caring for teammates and products? On the flip side, non-leaders
in management may be formally anointed with all the perks and frills
associated with high positions, but they have little influence on others, apart
from their ability to extract minimal compliance to minimal standards.
11. LESSON 10LESSON 10
"Never let your ego get so close to your position that"Never let your ego get so close to your position that
when your position goes, your ego goes with it."when your position goes, your ego goes with it."
Too often, change is stifled by people who cling to familiar turfs and job
descriptions. One reason that even large organizations wither is that
managers won't challenge old, comfortable ways of doing things. But
real leaders understand that, nowadays, every one of our jobs is becoming
obsolete. The proper response is to obsolete our activities before someone
else does. Effective leaders create a climate where people’s worth is
determined by their willingness to learn new skills and grab new
responsibilities, thus perpetually reinventing their jobs. The most
important question in performance evaluation becomes not, "How well
did you perform your job since the last time we met?" but, "How much
did you change it?"
12. LESSON 11LESSON 11
"Fit no stereotypes. Don't chase the latest management"Fit no stereotypes. Don't chase the latest management
fads. The situation dictates which approach bestfads. The situation dictates which approach best
accomplishes the team's mission."accomplishes the team's mission."
Flitting from fad to fad creates team confusion, reduces the leader's credibility,
and drains organizational coffers. Blindly following a particular fad generates
rigidity in thought and action. Sometimes speed to market is more important
than total quality. Sometimes an unapologetic directive is more appropriate
than participatory discussion. Some situations require the leader to hover
closely; others require long, loose leashes. Leaders honor their core values,
but they are flexible in how they execute them. They understand that
management techniques are not magic mantras but simply tools to be
reached for at the right times.
13. LESSON 12LESSON 12
"Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier.""Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier."
The ripple effect of a leader's enthusiasm and optimism is awesome. So is the
impact of cynicism and pessimism. Leaders who whine and blame engender
those same behaviors among their colleagues. I am not talking about stoically
accepting organizational stupidity and performance incompetence with a "what,
me worry?" smile. I am talking about a gung-ho attitude that says "we can
change things here, we can achieve awesome goals, we can be the best."
Spare me the grim litany of the "realist," give me the unrealistic aspirations
of the optimist any day.

How often do our recruitment and hiring processes tap into these attributes?
More often than not, we ignore them in favor of length of resume, degrees and
prior titles. A string of job descriptions a recruit held yesterday seem to be
more important than who one is today, what they can contribute tomorrow, or
how well their values mesh with those of the organization. You can train a
bright, willing novice in the fundamentals of your business fairly readily, but
it's a lot harder to train someone to have integrity, judgment, energy, balance,
and the drive to get things done. Good leaders stack the deck in their favor
right in the recruitment phase.

"Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers,"Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers,

Effective leaders understand the KISS principle, Keep It Simple, Stupid. They
articulate vivid, over-arching goals and values, which they use to drive daily
behaviors and choices among competing alternatives. Their visions and
priorities are lean and compelling, not cluttered and buzzword-laden. Their
decisions are crisp and clear, not tentative and ambiguous. They convey an
unwavering firmness and consistency in their actions, aligned with the picture
of the future they paint. The result: clarity of purpose, credibility of leadership,
and integrity in organization.

Don't take action if you have only enough information to give you less than a
40 percent chance of being right, but don't wait until you have enough facts to
be 100 percent sure, because by then it is almost always too late. Today,
excessive delays in the name of information-gathering breeds "analysis
paralysis." Procrastination in the name of reducing risk actually increases risk.
17. LESSON 16LESSON 16
"The commander in the field is always right and the"The commander in the field is always right and the

Too often, the reverse defines corporate culture. This is one of the main
reasons why leaders like Ken Iverson of Nucor Steel, Percy Barnevik of Asea
Brown Boveri, and Richard Branson of Virgin have kept their corporate staffs
to a bare-bones minimum - how about fewer than 100 central corporate
staffers for global $30 billion-plus ABB? Or around 25 and 3 for multi-billion
Nucor and Virgin, respectively? Shift the power and the financial accountability
to the folks who are bringing in the beans, not the ones who are counting
or analyzing them.

Herb Kelleher of Southwest Air and Anita Roddick of The Body Shop would
agree: seek people who have some balance in their lives, who are fun to hang
out with, who like to laugh (at themselves, too) and who have some non-job
priorities which they approach with the same passion that they do their work.
Spare me the grim workaholic or the pompous pretentious "professional;”
I'll help them find jobs with my competitor.
19. LESSON 18LESSON 18
"Command is lonely.""Command is lonely."
Harry Truman was right. Whether you're a CEO or the temporary head of a
project team, the buck stops here. You can encourage participative
management and bottom-up employee involvement, but ultimately the
essence of leadership is the willingness to make the tough, unambiguous
choices that will have an impact on the fate of the organization. I've seen
too many non-leaders flinch from this responsibility. Even as you create
an informal, open, collaborative corporate culture, prepare to be lonely.
