The Rise of Supportive Peer Groups in Landscaping
In a relatively young industry segment, the establishment of Jeffrey Scott Consulting's second-in-command peer group marks a significant step forward for landscape and lawn care professionals. Launched in early January in Destin, Florida, this group is designed specifically for those in leadership positions beneath the company owners. The formation of this peer group, often referred to as 2IC (short for second-in-command), has emerged from the organic growth of interest observed during previous gatherings of the Leader’s Edge peer group, where members frequently brought their second-in-commands.
Learning from Industry Leaders
During its inaugural standalone meeting, attendees engaged in enlightening panel discussions and strategic planning sessions, solidifying their paths for 2025. The highlight was a tour of Russell Landscape Group’s branch, showing how a large company maintains its values and operational consistency across different locations. This aspect proved instructive for general managers eager to integrate these lessons into their own practices.
Shared Experiences and Lessons
Members like José Andrés Genel and Desiree Bouchard expressed their thoughts on the inherent value of these interactions. They were pleasantly surprised to find that the group was not merely a space for venting frustrations but a dynamic community of like-minded professionals who can inspire and challenge each other. Their experiences underscore the importance of collaboration in driving personal and professional growth within the industry.
Strengthening Community Connections
This approach encapsulates a vital lesson for homeowners seeking landscaping services: the quality and professionalism of the teams they hire can be significantly enhanced through robust support networks. As industry leaders cultivate skills, share strategies, and foster accountability, consumers can expect more from the companies that serve them. This reality illustrates how interconnected the landscaping community is, ultimately benefiting homeowners when they choose local businesses with strong foundational practices.
