All business owners must of necessity be managers. But that doesn’t necessarily make them a leader. The two are not the same, though unfortunately, people rarely take the time to consider the difference and what each contributes to the success of their business. The role of leader involves more than just managing - it involves he ability to create a vision for their firm, determine the strategies required to get there, and motivating their team to work towards it. You do it with the aim of getting people aligned and moving in one direction--the direction that will make your business really fly.

 

This topic covers:

 

• The vital difference between being a manager and being a leader
• The essential role of leadership in business, and
• The basic technical and emotional intelligence skills of a leader
