O'Connor Marketing help their representative's develop through a business development program which teaches them a range of skills and allows them to put these skills into practice by giving them the opportunity to experience sales roles and leadership positions.

Having strong leadership in place is important to businesses, particularly start-ups, because this helps the business to run smoothly as well as take the necessary risks and decisions needed to advance in business. Having strong leadership also attracts the top talent to a business and therefore makes the whole team much stronger, making them more able to achieve more for the business. This is especially important for start-ups as many people will not have heard of the company yet, so more work needs to go into getting the business noticed and performing well.

O'Connor Marketing has shared some of their top tips that they taught to their representatives at the leadership meeting this week:

Lead by example
Leaders must show their team how it's done, not just tell them what to do. "If you want your workers to be punctual, you must also be there on time, if not early," says O'Connor Marketing. If professionalism is a priority, the leader must be dressed for success, and treat everyone they interact with, with courtesy. Set the tone in order for colleagues to follow it.

Know your limits
Even the kindest, most caring leader has limits. Set boundaries and stick to them, says O'Connor Marketing. "Knowing what you will not tolerate can save everyone in the office a lot of frustration, and keeping boundaries clear means there's no confusion. "

Find a mentor
The best leaders out there know when they need help, and they know where to turn to in order to get it. Nobody knows everything, says O'Connor Marketing, so it is important to find someone trustworthy to go to for advice when things get tough.

Avoid common pitfalls of leadership
Everyone makes mistakes, but some of them are avoidable. Being aware of common mistakes, while not focusing on them to the point that they become self-fulfilling prophecies, can be the first step toward not repeating them, believes O'Connor Marketing.

Never stop improving
Great leaders are constantly learning and trying to improve themselves and their skill sets. There's always something new to master. O'Connor Marketing believes the key to strong leadership is always being open to new ideas and possibilities.
