Grounded: The Farmer's Mindset for Life & Leadership

By Kenny Eng

GROUNDED: The Farmer's Mindset for Life & Leadership offers a calmer and more resilient way to live and lead in a fast-changing world.

Drawing from four generations of a Singapore horticulture family, Kenny Eng reflects on what it means to grow something slowly and meaningfully in an urban, import-dependent city - and what farming can teach us about purpose, people, organisations, and systems.

Built around the idea of a farmer's mindset, the book uses personal stories, practical reflections, and simple case examples to show how everyday experiences from the ground can shape the way we make decisions, handle change, build trust, and stay focused on what truly matters.

Written in a clear and conversational style, GROUNDED avoids management jargon and quick-fix solutions. Instead, it invites readers to slow down, think in seasons, tend to their roots, and care for both people and processes. Through this lens, leadership becomes less about chasing constant growth and more about growing with intention, resilience, and purpose.

The book is for entrepreneurs, family business owners, managers, educators, students, and anyone seeking a more grounded way to lead, work, and live with meaning.
