It’s not a one-size-fits-all function, which often makes it more difficult to grasp. Instead, it’s more of a work in progress; what works for certain team members may not work for others. When it comes to small businesses, effective leadership is critical; it can be the difference between surviving and thriving. ***As Sartre says, if you spend all your time rowing, you’ll never find a way to grow.*** ## 10 Tips for Prosperous Leadership Leadership is all about taking people on a journey. The challenge is that most of the time, we are asking people to follow us to places we ourselves have never been. Whether you are carving your path for the first time as an entrepreneur or you've run a multi-million-dollar company, leadership should be more about putting your employees on display than yourself. You can only get so far without the help – and ideas – of others. The more you show your team that you understand this, the more they'll be willing to step up to facilitate your goals and dreams.
