CHAPTER 1
Leadership & Attitude
As the leader of your business, you set the tone for how your business operates. Your leadership and attitude can influence your business, either to be successful or to eventually fall victim to a lack of growth.
“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.”
—John Quincy Adams
So, how do I define a successful leader? After all, you can easily go to the library or local bookstore to pick up hundreds of books on leadership in all areas of your life. But I want to focus on seven main areas of leadership and how they can help you to spur growth in your business, no matter what the industry.
Recognize that leadership does not have to be complicated. It involves tapping into skills you already have, recognizing your vision, using that knowledge to challenge those around you, and then maximizing your skills to achieve your goals!
Strong Leadership
Leadership is such an important element for a business’s success that I want to start my book by talking about leadership. Strong and good leadership can transform a poor performing team; however, a poor leadership will definitely bring down a strong performing team. How do you inspire those around you? Are you influencing your team to reach their potential? Is your team following you because they want to or because the corporate structure compels them to?
When you own your business, you are the corporate leadership. You are going to set the tone for how your team will function. The question is, how are you influencing and motivating them to achieve your goals? Are you priming your business for growth or is your team just giving you enough to keep your business afloat?
There is so much written about leadership, and so much debate about whether leaders are born or made. This is what I advise to leaders that I am coaching. You can be whatever you want; it’s all in your head. You are always leading someone in your life; most of the time, it’s yourself, especially when you motivate yourself to get something done. That’s leading thy self!
If you are a mom or a dad, then you lead your kids. If you are in a relationship, then you lead your girlfriend or boyfriend, or spouse, and so on and so forth. You have a leader within yourself—it’s about channeling that leader and applying the skills necessary to see the results you want.
The skills can be learnt, just like any other skill, or they come with experience. Most of the time, you need a compelling reason to bring out the leader within. When you become parents, the kids compel you to bring out the leader. Moms make great leaders. I have seen them take the lead, including on the dance floor, so many times.
Your employees and customers need to see a strong leader, so they compel you to bring out your own leader from within. People in your business and community will look up to you for vision and direction. If you can’t provide that leadership and inspiration, you won’t be able to run a successful organization.
You need to be the person that defines the direction of your business, giving them a path to follow. As an entrepreneur, you need to get involved in your business and provide the leadership right from the front, rather than leaving things to your employees. It is important to get in there and lead by example, being willing to get your hands dirty versus just dictating how the jobs should be parceled out.
You are going to set the tone for your business by the type of leader that you are. If your employees can feel your passion, then they are going to get excited about your business, and are going to want to make it successful. But if you treat the business as an afterthought, then they will end up doing the same, as their passion for the business drains away.
What are some keys to strong leadership? You need to be self-confident, have a positive attitude, and the initiative necessary to make everything else fall into place.
I have noticed, over time, that the most successful leaders are the ones willing to get in and get their hands dirty. They are more than just delegators. They want to understand the process and how their workers complete the process daily. You can’t understand the challenges your team faces if you don’t understand what they have to work with during the course of their job.
I can’t help but reflect on some of the different reality shows where the bosses disguise themselves and then go work with their employees. Many come away with a newfound appreciation for what those employees do daily, and how well they do it, despite challenges or inefficiencies.
Strong leaders are also willing to give direction, and set up checkpoints with their employees, but don’t micromanage them. I have found that while I want to be aware of what is going on and the potential challenges that could impact the process, I also want to provide guidance and mentorship. Leaders need to be able to trust their teams, while providing support.
How does your team view you? Do they feel your support and encouragement? Can they take your direction, knowing that you truly understand where they are coming from and the challenges they face?
There are going to be members of your team who don’t believe they can achieve more. From a leader’s perspective, you need to be willing to push them to accomplish more than what they believe is possible. This could mean focusing on training to expand skill sets, finding ways to motivate your team to push the limits, and setting the example by pushing the limits of your own capabilities as well.
You want to help people to achieve the potential that they have, because your business benefits when your employees reach their potential and contribute that to the workplace.
This also applies as the owner of a company when it comes to your top leadership. This could be your CEO, vice-presidents, and key management positions. In the United States, there was a period where top business leaders were leaving President Trump’s business councils. The reasons varied from person to person, but as they left, so did that experience and knowledge that they offered to the team.
How are you treating your top leaders? Do you respect their vision and what they bring to your business? Are you maximizing their talents effectively? I will be talking about operations management in Chapter 3, but I want to get you thinking about your top leaders early on. They are the ones that will be on the ground with your teams, and spurring the growth process.
Part of the reason that you need to think about this top leadership is that you want to be creating leaders in your business. You want to build a strong team, with leaders who can step into new roles as your business grows and changes. If you don’t address any leadership gaps you may have now, you could find your business struggling to meet the demands of new growth and the forward motion of your industry. You are helping people to lead themselves, creating a path where someone else can pick up where you might have left off.
As a leader, you are providing the map that guides your business on where it is headed. Your vision defines the limits of your business and how you are going to achieve your goals. When you have a strong vision, your employees can feel confident that you are leading them where they need to go to achieve that vision.
A mission statement is one key part of expressing that vision, but you need to make people believe it. Clear communication of your vision, both what your organization stands for and what you are trying to achieve, needs to be done both internally and externally as well.
When your team sees your example, they will be more likely to want to follow you. Strong leadership is key to creating a strong team, willing to work hard and test the boundaries, which is key to growth in any business.
Passion & Inspiration
What are you passionate about? Can other people tell that you are passionate about that topic, or would they be surprised to learn that about you?
When you talk about your business, your team needs to feel your passion for the business. They need to see you excited and motivated to reach the goals of the business, and then set even more. Not every member of your team is going to be motivated the same way.
I worked with one client who had a team manager that wasn’t really engaged and doing what they felt he could be doing to increase the team’s performance. As a result, this manager’s team was consistently in 7th or 8th place, quarter after quarter. I found out that he was working to pay bills and save to start his own business. He wasn’t interested in helping this business grow, because he was focused on his own goals. My advice was to show him that he could be learning skills to help him run his own business as he was working in his current managerial position.
The questions I asked were focused on understanding his motivation and how the company could leverage that to get the best out of him as part of the team. We were able to point out that if he couldn’t make this team successful, then he was unlikely to be able to make his own business successful, because he hadn’t built up his skill set to do so. When we got him to change his point of view, recognizing that he was learning skills necessary for his business, but not on his dime, we were able to motivate him to...
