Grounded: A Farmer's Mindset For Life And Leadership

Grounded: A Farmer's Mindset for Life & Leadership offers a calmer, more resilient way to live and lead in a fast-changing world. Drawing on four generations of a Singapore farming family, Kenny Eng explores what it means to grow something over time in an urban, import-dependent city — and what that teaches us about people, organisations, and systems.Organised around the idea of a 'farmer's mindset,' the book uses personal stories and case studies to show how simple, everyday experiences can shape the way we make decisions, handle change, build trust, and stay focused on what matters. Each chapter connects a story from the ground to practical lessons and reflection questions that readers can apply in their own lives and workplaces.Written in a clear and conversational style, Grounded avoids management jargon and quick fixes. Instead, it shows how thinking in seasons, tending to roots, and caring for both people and processes can lead to more resilient organisations and more authentic leadership. The book is for entrepreneurs, family business owners, and managers who want a straightforward, down-to-earth way to think about leadership and long-term impact.
