Connections Post 3

Another connection I make with my ranch is the inverted pyramid style of management. I work at the horse corral at my ranch, and while we all interact with the guests (it is a resort style ranch) face to face, each of us plays our own roles in the business. When I am home for the summer, and I see something I want changed at the corral, I change it. As long as the change is noted to my dad and reasonable it is an acceptable change. As I interact not only with the horses but the people who come to ride them on a daily basis, it is assumed that I know more of what is needed and what will work at the corral. The same goes for the pool, the cookouts, and really every aspect of work at the ranch. We are each associated with a certain aspect of the ranch and therefore we have some control over how ours runs. Barring ridiculous or cost inefficient ideas, the different aspects of the business are shaped around who works them, creating a diverse and entertaining experience for vacationing. It has worked very well for a long time and I believe that people come back because of it
