Leadership

Are you a good Leader? How do you know? Are you developing Leaders within your organization? Are you growing as a Leader yourself? We often find one of the biggest things holding a business back is poor leadership from the owner. Leaders aren’t born they’re made. When you own a small business you’re the top Leader in the business whether you want to be or not.

Are You a Joiner, Doer, or Leader?

Jack and I have been involved at just about every level of organizations you can imagine.  From multi billion dollar public companies to start ups to all kinds of volunteer and other non-profit organizations not to mention our personal and family lives.  One of the things we’ve noticed is that people will often play one of three roles in an organization: i) Joiner, ii) Doer, or iii) Leader.
