Leading a Growth-Stage Company through Dynamic Markets
6 suggestions… you can add to your arsenal of tools to keep things moving and to recession-proof your growth-stage company to face the constant evolution of dynamic markets.
Leadership is both taught and caught! Anyone can develop leadership skills; and for those with innate skills, development opportunities only make them better.
Search for “leadership skills” and you’ll find over 269 million results. With remote working environments now taking the place of normal business offices, leaders across the world have had to pivot to new ways of interacting with their teams to ensure productivity remains constant as they serve their clients and stakeholders.
Arthur Langer wrote an article about this vital topic on Entrepreneur magazine’s website titled “Why Strong Leadership Skills Are More Important Now Than Ever.” He provides three areas that leaders should focus on developing to maximize their effectiveness: 1) Be Open, 2) Be Clear and Calm, and 3) Be Flexible. Each area is designed to close the gap between leadership and team members in their “new normal” of how to do business.
Langer’s wraps up the article by saying, “Leadership is a timeless skill that’s being tested now more than ever before. Whether you’re managing a team of 15 or 1,500, the [COVID19] crisis has stretched the bounds of our workplaces and demanded that every professional to think outside the box.”
