According to the National Gardening Association, suckers are rapidly growing shoots rising from an underground root or stem, often to the detriment of the tree. They can be very irritating and annoying for they bear no flowers or fruit. One way to get rid of them is to roughly yank them off rather than cut them off. This removes the cells and tissues that cause re-growth.
Even if you’re not a gardener or orchard grower, you know a lot about suckers and weeds. They’re everywhere and tend to take over, providing a chaotic and unsightly mess. Unfortunately, businesses have suckers and weeds too. These unattractive thieves rob the organization blind by ruining its competitive advantage, and choking and stifling its people.
This podcast discusses four suckers and weeds that are typically found in the business orchard, along with ways to yank them out before they root too deeply.
