Good leaders consistently lead towards one objective. And the key word here is consistently!
They don’t say, ‘Today we’re going to do this, then we’re going to do that. Then tomorrow we’re going to do this and then again, we’re going to do that. And we’ll do this, then we will do that!’
No.
Good leaders say, ‘We’re going to do this!’. And they say it everyday to every member of every team!
A leader’s sphere of influence is generally much larger and accordingly the destruction that they can wreak is much higher in volume. And while their good traits can positively influence more people, their toxic traits can conversely destroy more careers and also have a ripple effect by teaching bad leadership skills down the line!
Nothing worth doing, can be done alone! And you already know that, because you’re part of a team and have been for some time. But the real question to ask yourself, is whether you are a good team player?
Who doesn’t want to be a great leader?
To inspire, to excite, to lead their people to great things.
To be a force for change! Lasting, memorable change!
And this because every significant achievement that the world has ever witnessed has been led by a great leader.
But so has every great atrocity!

It always seems like there is so much to be done and that we are never going fast enough.
Money is scarce.
So is time.
And the world won’t wait.
We need to move faster, do more, be more.
And the only way to do that is to maximise the amount achieved per unit of time and effort…in short, be more productive!
And not just you, the founder, the leader.
Every member of your team has to be firing at all cylinders because it takes a (productive) village to raise a startup. <
So if, like me, you lead a startup team and are struggling to raise the productivity levels of your team, then here are the 3 things that you, as a leader, MUST DO, to ensure that your team is productive, frugal and motivated!
Managing conflict is not for the uninitiated! And preventing conflict is certainly not a good idea.
But well-managed conflict can be a strong tool for growth in the right hands! Learn how today.
What is truly ironic about the startup journey, is that IF you complete the first phase – Bootstrapping for traction – successfully, then you have to unlearn absolutely everything you’ve figured out so far for the next phase -Scaling up!
And this is where most founders trip up and fail to make the transition! This is where they make that classic startup mistake – of clinging to control by trying to do everything themselves instead of delegating and growing quickly – which can make the difference between your startup growing quickly & surviving long enough to make an exit!
