Cultivate is about creating dynamic teams as well as creating trust. This book uses practical, relatable examples that many in the green industry have indeed experienced firsthand. The thoughtful creation of each chapter focuses on breaking down different soft skill elements to help you and your team begin the conversation about teamwork, trust and how the team could grow together. I highly recommend this book to all in the pursuit of evolving your team into a dynamic, positive, and super productive one!
