MD of Genesis Business Partnership, Kevin Afolabioz, supports the view that being a great entrepreneur means being a great leader, "it takes great courage, resilience, teamwork, emotional intelligence and above all - a lot of hard work in order to bring an entrepreneurial vision to life."
Afolabioz states that not all entrepreneurs are 'born' with such qualities, but is confident that entrepreneurial leadership can also be taught, and entrepreneurs can be made. "Indeed, it is possible to teach yourself to have entrepreneurial leadership qualities and the skills needed to maintain a successful attitude, there just needs to be a willingness and determination present to work alongside it."
The ability to lead effectively is based on a number of key skills, all of which are highly sought after by businesses as they involve dealing with people in such a way as to motivate, enthuse and build respect. Here, Genesis Business Partnership has outlined some skills and tips that they feel are necessary to adhere to in order to become a successful leader:
Listening
Genesis Business Partnership believes that the best communicators are not only skilled at articulating their own thoughts, but they're also great listeners. The firm argues that successful leaders understand the importance of listening to others' thoughts and ideas, and recommend being open to alternative opinions and solutions suggested by colleagues.
Communicating
Leaders who have mastered the exchange of ideas can more effectively manage people and create a productive work environment. MD of Genesis Business Partnership Kevin Afolabioz suggests it is essential for good leaders to have a finely-honed set of communication skills, as he believes it is required in order to develop good, strong relationships with peers or subordinates.
Being a positive role model
A leader's actions set the tone for what is appropriate behaviour in the workplace, and Genesis Business Partnership argue that it is essential for a business owner or entrepreneur to lead by example, and display values for the rest of the company to emulate.
Staying humble
Genesis Business Partnership believes that humility is a critical leadership factor for creating an environment where people from different demographic backgrounds feel included. They stress the importance of sharing credit for successful projects, and sharing blame for failed ones as a collective unit.
Finding a mentor
Seeking the advice from someone with more experience is not a sign of weakness, as it takes a community of people to make amazing things happen. That's why great leaders surround themselves with other great minds.
Genesis Business Partnership suggest that the most successful leaders have not only mastered technical skills, they've also mastered interpersonal skills like negotiating, building morale and maintaining relationships - all of which are key to a leader's success.
