AdviCoach Presents: Becoming the Leader Your Business Needs

Overview• “Leadership is managing change. Management is leading

stability,” writes Forbes magazine columnist, Marc Compeau. This begs the age old question – does your business need you to be a leader or a manager? Odds are, depending on the size of your organization, it needs both. As a small business owner, it is up to you to not only manage the day-to-day operations of your team, but also, ultimately, fulfill the broader role as leader.

Do Treat Your Employees as People

• Figure out how your employees would like to be led and do your best to accommodate them. • Understand their strengths and

weaknesses as well as their goals and aspirations and find out how they can best contribute to your organization. • They all bring something unique

to the table and the only way to find out what that is, is to take a genuine interest in them.

Don’t be Vague

• As a leader it is your job to communicate a clear vision to your team. If your employees don’t understand what their work is leading to, they will not care about their roles. Once you share with them your business’ vision, you will begin to see their interest peak.

Do Trust Your Team• As a leader you may find it

hard to delegate tasks, but this is a skill you must learn to master. Have faith in your team, provide them with the proper instructions and trust them to do the task. Nothing motivates someone like ownership and personal responsibility.

Don’t Worry About Being Liked• If a team member does not perform adequately, let them know.

Telling an employee what they can improve upon may not be pleasant in the moment, but it can do wonders in the long run. • If you become too caught up in pleasing everyone, they may end

up liking you, but they will never end up respecting you.

Do Take Responsibility• All great leaders are judged by how they handle themselves

under pressure. In the end, the grunt of the responsibility ultimately falls squarely upon your shoulders.• Learn from the mistakes made and make sure to share your

newfound insights with your team – it is the only way your organization will grow.

Conclusion

• Small business owners have different philosophies when it comes to how involved they are in their organization. Some are heavily integrated in the day-to-day operations and others opt for a more hands-off approach. • No matter what type of

manager your team wants, you can rest assured knowing they will always need a leader.
