Step 9
in the
FORMIDABLE Business -
Leadership
Leadership has many definitions and traditionally has be written
for the executive running a large corporation. In
the
FORMIDABLE
Business
we look at the skills and habits of successful leaders in building
small to medium sized businesses.
The Leadership skills in the
FORMIDABLE
Business
have been selected on the basis of my experience and practical
knowledge of working in the private sector for over 20
years.
I have coached dozens of business operators and have
identified the key Leadership attributes and skills that ensure a
business operator can realise the full potential of their
business.
Each of the skills can be developed and learnt through training and
practical application. As with all skills the challenge is for
you to make the ongoing commitment to developing them and using
them in your business. Too often we learn new skills, use
them for a short period of time, and then go back to our old
habits. The real test is when we face a difficult situation –
do we revert back to our old ways?
Leadership is defined in terms of the following
skills;
-
Establishing high expectations for each area of your
business
-
Ensuring the business operator communicates a clear vision for the
business
-
Building a high performance culture
-
Making things happen
-
Being a role model
-
Effective decision making
Leadership is more than leading a group of people. It is
being able to communicate a vision and work over an extended period
to its successful accomplishment.
