Leadership is a foundational pillar where the business and its people are enabled to reach their potential and soar to success. The Canadian Nursery Landscape Association and Landscape Ontario launched an interactive online leadership resource during Congress 2016. Titled Effective Leadership, the website at ELpathway.ca provides insight into business management and effective leadership for the green profession.

The resource complements Landscape Ontario’s Prosperity Partnership Program, helping green industry business owners and managers to gain greater profitability and a more balanced lifestyle.

The central theme throughout the website is ‘development’ — the actions continually taken to move a business forward.

Several landscape and horticulture business managers and owners share their own experiences through each growth phase in their company. ELpathway.ca provides an opportunity to learn from peers while learning best practices in business.
