Leadership in the Napa Wineries
You would think that wineries that are as progressive in their treatment of grapes might also be progressive in other areas. The more stories that I hear and experiences that I have seems quite the contrary. Wineries, even the larger ones often do not have as many working for them as one might think. You add in laws about how vineyards and wineries of certain sizes need to keep wine making and grape growing separated, and silos get created. Silos such as vineyard, marketing admin and tasting rooms seem to keep everything separate.
It seems that management is the key. It is not about creating an environment for good management to occur (leadership), it is about managing situations. This makes for a very reactionary situation. I have not seen a ton of wineries’ leadership approach, but enough to know that it rare that they are proactive rather than reactive.
