As entrepreneurs, we can turn anything into a diamond, and finding the balance between preparedness, effective communication, collaboration, and leading in our creative zone is critical to our success. We have to be adaptable to lead effectively, and this starts by understanding our audience while still focusing on our leadership strategies and the new things we want to bring into our business. Leadership is not about giving and asking to get results. It's about finding a balance between how much we give to our team and enhancing meritocracy. When we are not using the right language to help us unlock the action we are looking for, we switch off. To be effective as a leader, you have to get away from assumptions and communicate in a style that people understand while balancing empathy, collaboration, and management to give everyone an equal opportunity to win.
