[www.keralites.net] 9 Attributes Of The Best Entrepreneurial Leaders

 

Creating and building a business is not a one-man show. It requires a team effort, or at least the ability to build trust and confidence among key players, and effectively communicate with partners, team members, investors, vendors, and customers. These actions are the hallmark of an effective leader.

Behind the actions are a set of principles and characteristics that entrepreneurial leaders, like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, seem to have in common. Look for these and nurture them in your own context to improve the odds of success for your own startup:

  1. Clarity of vision and expectations.You must be able and willing to communicate to everyone your vision, goals, and objectives. Just as importantly, you have to be absolutely clear about who you are, what you stand for, and what you expect from everyone around you. People wont follow you if they are in the dark or confused.
  2. Willingness to make decisions.It is often said that making any decision is better than making no decision. Even better than any decision is a good decision made quickly. Business decisions always involve risk, at times a great deal of it. Smart entrepreneurs always balance the risk with facts, when they have them, rather than their gut.
  3. Experience and knowledge in your business area.Effective leaders set a personal standard of competence for every person and function in the startup. It must be clear that you have the knowledge, insight, and skill to make your new company better than your very best competitor.
  4. Commitment and conviction for the venture.This commitment must be passionate enough to motivate and inspire people to do their best work, and put their heart into the effort. Behind the passion must be a business model that makes sense in todays world, and a determination to keep going despite setbacks.
  5. Open to new ideas and creativity.In business, this means spending time and resources on new ideas, as well as encouraging people to find faster, better, cheaper, and easier ways to produce results, beat competition, and improve customer service. Be a role model and guide others to excel.
  6. Courage to acknowledge and attack constraints.An effective leader is willing and able to allocate resources to remove obstacles to the success of the startup, as well as removing constraints on individuals on the team. It is believing that where there is the will, there will be a way.
  7. Reward continuous learning.You have to encourage everyone to learn and grow as a normal and natural part of business. That means no punishment for failures, and positive opportunities for training and advancement. Personally, it means upgrading your own skills, listening, and reading about new developments and approaches.
  8. Self-discipline for consistency and reliability.An effective leader is totally predictable, calm, positive, and confident, even under pressure. People like to follow someone when they dont have to walk on eggshells to avoid angry outbursts, or assume daily changes in direction.
  9. Accept responsibility for all actions.Everyone and every company makes mistakes. Good entrepreneurs dont want to be seen as perfect, and they have to be seen as willing to accept the fact that the buck stops here. No excuses, or putting the blame on the economy, competitors, or team members.

The good news is that all of these principles of leadership are learnable. The bad news is that its not easy. Dont assume that success as an entrepreneur is only about great presentations, killing competitors, or having insanely great ideas. Its really more about leadership, understanding the needs of your prospective clients, and communicating your solutions with clarity.

[www.keralites.net] 6 Types of People Build Your Mental Toughness

 

As the saying goes, It gets lonely at the top. There are many reasons that one feels isolated and at times lonely when they have reached the pinnacle of success. For one thing, everyone wants to be your friend; but since you cant make time for everyone only a select few get invited into the circle. Whats my point? Accepting success and failure once you have reached the highest levels of success requires the same mental toughness it took to get there. As has been proven throughout history, the higher you climb the more quickly the naysayers want to bring you back down. Envy and adversity become the most common invaders you must manage and all the while you need to remain mentally tough, and not allow the noise to cloud your mind and control your actions.

Mental toughness defines the leadership game. You need wide-angle vision to continuously navigate the terrain that awaits you with each big decision you make and vision you cast. The tension points of leadership can be extremely exhausting and pressure-packed. Nevertheless, the leadership journey must continue and your demeanor must appear unfazed as if it were business as usual.

Mental toughness is acquired over time. To be mentality tough means that risk is your best friend, that innovation comes second nature and that you have grown accustomed to anticipating crisis and managing change. Mental toughness is also a by-product of experiencing failure and knowing how to rebound. As Rick Newman noted in his book, Rebounders, Setbacks can be a secret weapon. They often teach vital things youll never learn in school, on the job or from others.

As I have learned from my own experiences, mental toughness begins when you can separate your emotions and remain focused on what matters most. And this is never more true than when you are being ambushed by one of the following six negative members of your audience:

1. The Doubters

These are the skeptics who want you to fail and believe your ideas have no merit. They are the pessimistic ones waiting on the sidelines wanting things to go wrong and salivating to witness your hardship.

2. The Leeches

These are the people who lack creativity and originality. Leeches will stay close to your every move just so they can steal your ideas. They enjoy asking you lots of questions and are aggressive in requesting one-on-one time to pick your brain for wisdom that they can use for their own personal benefit. The sibling of the leech is the loafer, and you can learn more about both types here.

3. The Critics

These are the people who are always finding ways to disrupt your confidence by telling you that your vision is wrong. They are quick to inform you that your knowledge of the marketplace is not realistic as they attempt to throw your thinking off kilter. The critics are a legitimate challenge because they possess valid insights of the landscape you are competing in yet they lack the hands-on battle wounds to justify their criticisms. They are the prototypical know-it-alls who believe that they are always right and that their written credentials allow them to have a voice in the matter.

4. The Envious

These are the people who wish they had your courage, but instead waste their energy by poking fun at your efforts to create impact. Envious people make your job more difficult as they attempt to slow down your execution by trying to convince themselves and others that your work isnt important. Most envious people are those who wish they were more like you, and thus remain bitter because they dont trust themselves enough to be unique in their own ways. Because we live in a dog-eat-dog world, envious people would rather find joy in making your life difficult rather than using their valuable time to make a difference in the world. Read more about how envy destroys careers here.

5. The Victims

Victims believe they havent had a good break in life and thus feel that something is owed to them for their misfortune. They would rather spend their time trying to make you feel sorry for them. They are quick to ask for favors, but slow to reciprocate. They are the manipulators and want others to feel their pain though they are rarely motivated to take initiative.

Move up http://i.forbesimg.com t Move down

6. The Noise

These are the voices that are drowning in mass confusion and just want to be heard. They are loud and obnoxious and crave attention. Unlike the victims, they have no real ambition and live with no purpose.

Leadership is a journey of mental toughness. Without it, you cant effectively think, act and innovate. You cant motivate or inspire the best in others. If you cant handle the aforementioned six types of people, you should think carefully if you are ready to assume a leadership role. Its a mandatory responsibility that is not outlined in the job description
