Episode Summary -
Being the head of the business is exactly like being a ship captain; how you sail your business will define your success. You need to set examples for your team.
Leadership is not about giving instructions; it is all about influencing & motivating people.
Most people have a wrong notion that being a business owner makes them a successful leader, which is absolutely wrong. As a business owner, you might know what needs to be done, but it is your leadership skills that will show you how it needs to be done.
You can only grow your company once every team member is on the same page and you are leading from the front.
Your job as a leader is not to instruct but to do it.
“If you feel like a victim, you will not be able to leverage your strengths & passion.”
