JERSEY CITY, NJ, December 24, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- There's no doubt that in the last couple of years young entrepreneurs have been paving the way for innovation and small business success. In 2011, at the start of the US's entrepreneurial boom, 29% of entrepreneurs were under 35 years old, and this figure is estimated to have risen substantially year on year. Young entrepreneurs and business leaders are not only creating jobs and boosting the economy, they are constantly changing the way businesses operate, evolving existing business processes in order to make business more social, more accepting and more creative. With this in mind, the definition of business leadership is also changing. Effective leadership is no longer about being in charge and making decisions; it's about engaging with others and working together to achieve a shared goal. Great leaders don't gauge business success on revenue alone, they measure success according to the achievements of others in their team and work with each individual to broaden their skill-set and utilize their strengths.
As new young leaders emerge across America every year, many may find that despite their strong leadership skills, it may be difficult to engage with and gain the trust of older business professionals. To help, the managing director of Apollo Enterprise Inc. has offered her advice to help young leaders to connect to those around them and succeed in business leadership.
Lead from the Front
To prove their commitment and worth, Apollo Enterprise believes it's important for young leaders to set a good example and work hard. Being a team player garners respect and others are likely to follow in a young leader's impressive work ethic.
Know Your Industry
Young leaders should never stop learning about their chosen industry; this includes learning about competitors, new market trends and changes in consumer behavior. People are far more willing to follow a leader who knows what they are talking about.
Stay Cool
The business world, and in particular the sales and marketing industry is an incredibly high pressure environment and it can be easy to get swept up in the everyday stresses. If a leader is stressed, their workforce will also feel under pressure, therefore young leaders should focus on remaining calm in order to reassure their team and keep morale high.
Take Advice
No one knows it all; even the most successful of leaders, so it's always a good idea for young leaders to consult with their workforce in order to gain new perspectives and ideas. Valuing their feedback will also help to boost workplace morale and encourage others to work harder.
