In the winter, it is time to repair the fields and equipment, plan the next year’s crops and gather our seeds while we subsist off of the reserves from the fall. Perhaps one of the hardest seasons, especially if not planned for well, the end season is also the stage to create room for the planting of the spring. In the business world, the culmination of projects means paying attention to lessons learned and ideas conceived of in the entire year (the gathering of seeds) to integrate into the next year’s work.
