Are you LEADING or MANAGING your business?

Have you ever stopped to consider how you, the owner of your business, is contributing to stagnant or slow growth? A core differentiator in businesses that scale vs. those that stay stuck is that the owner is constantly evolving their skillset, leadership characteristics and surrounding themselves with high performance talent. This takes intentional action to uplevel yourself and let go of control.

Manager = staying close to day-to-day operations, needing to understand all the details, a planner and organizer. Your team "works" for you. Leader = setting the broader vision, aligning strategy and people against growth, looking for market opportunities. Your team follows you. The truth is, businesses require both. Someone creating the high level opportunities and setting the vision, and an operational level managing the day to day. Consider: What do you need to let go of? Do you have high performance talent? Where are you spending the majority of your time? Do you have clarity on the organizational structure required?
