Leadership skills and business owners


Last week I spent some time with a number of business owners and we were discussion the importance of a business owner being a leader and having leadership skills.

But what does it mean to be a leader and what are leadership skills?

As a group of business owners we realized that our leadership responsibilities are;
  • Setting the priorities and vision for the business
  • Collecting and reviewing the relevant data, ensuring that action as a result
  • Installing the rhythm of the business, the procedures, systems, meetings, energy, culture etc.
  • Spending the time looking for, finding or creating the X factor. The product, process or paradigm which is the difference that makes all the difference.

I would love to know what qualities you think makes a business owner a great leader. Comment on my blog to let me know what you think.
