The thing is, leadership can either make or break your business.
In this video, I share the 3 LEADERSHIP PRINCIPLES that every business owner should know, whether you're a health expert or not. I also explain how to use your entrepreneurial leadership skills to build an amazing team and business.
You already know that if you're building a team, you're a leader. But the thing you have to understand is that you are, first and foremost, the leader of your own life, even if you’re not building a team. All of the decisions you make will have an impact to your success.
The challenge is that it takes a little bit more learning to understand that we can't actually do everything ourselves. Hiring great people allows you to impact more people, including the people on your team. No one achieves anything amazing by themselves.
With this in mind, the first of the leadership principles is that skill can never trump cultural fit. It's not good enough for someone to be really good at what they do. You can hire a rockstar, but if they're not willing to grow, adapt, and work with your team, then it’s going to be a nightmare.
The second thing is to delegate the details. It doesn't make sense for you to continue doing everything you once did if you want to scale. Good entrepreneurial leadership also means you shouldn't micromanage. Instead, you should coach and provide feedback to help your team grow. Give them ownership over the outcomes you expect.
Lastly, it's important to learn how to climb the 5 Levels of Leadership, which I also learned from John Maxwell. These 5 levels are: position, permission, production, reproduction, and respect. When you master these 5 aspects of leadership, you’ll have built a business that lasts.
Never underestimate the importance of good entrepreneurial leadership. Use these 3 leadership principles to elevate your business, yourself, and those around you.
