What, I’m no longer just the boss?
Coaching business owners focused on growing their business, it’s inevitable that some of these owners find themselves leading teams as the business expands. It’s a natural progression.
And it’s always interesting to witness that moment when they realise they have become an executive leader, and are no longer just the boss.
Usually that happens when they realise their purpose now is to influence and manage employees to deliver results, when they begin to focus more on strategic planning and goals rather than the day-to-day operations of the business.
It’s quite a mindset shift, for sure, but it also requires a shift in their leadership approach.
They begin to recognise that from a team perspective, they may have to become better at relating to their team.
These leaders are ambitious and driven and understand they need to inspire their team to drive results, and they want to work effectively with their leadership teams.
So, they practice being better listeners
They start to ask the meaningful questions
They learn to communicate with clarity
They focus on improving anything that could enhance their team’s performance,
and they start thinking about developing the future leaders in the organisation.
Because they know high performance teams deliver more!
