What determines great leadership?

I love this succinct definition, which I found from reading an E-Myth newsletter the other day. Can you identify yourself in it?
‘Great leadership requires the ability:
- to control what is in your power to control;
- to give people clarity, direction, and a sense of security;
- to chart a course and set goals your employees believe are attainable.
And, as we begin a new year, it is your job as the business leader to set and communicate expectations for the year ahead. From strategic initiatives to marketing campaigns, from new positions to new product lines, your company is waiting for you to clearly set the goals for the new year.
It also falls on your shoulders right now to make sure that your financial house is in order, that you understand thoroughly where you are today, how you got there, and have a plan moving forward.’
So as we start the new year, what should any great leader be concentrating on?
The E-Myth newsletter continues by explaining the key areas to concentrate on financially at the beginning of the year in order to start the first quarter right. In summary, they are:
- Set your budget
- Determine your financial goals
- Communicate to your team
To read about each of these areas in more detail see the full article.
