McKenzie Holland argues that leadership underpins all other facets of a business model, as it has the ingredients to make the remaining aspects of the business come together in sync, regardless of their possible deficiencies. The firm believes that this is the reason why leadership is held in such high esteem by so many of the world's most successful business owners and entrepreneurs. Indeed, successful leadership is important across all industries, not just in sales and marketing, as it is fairly unlikely that day-to-day tasks performed begrudgingly will be carried out at a maximum level of quality. The negative consequences of which are potentially huge if customers are involved and perceive a lack of quality service, so leadership entails getting followers to buy-in to the company culture and its goals.

McKenzie Holland has previously spoken about the importance of mental strength and fortitude in business, and the need for continual personal development - avoiding all complacency as there's always someone willing to take your place. Leadership is no different - and leaders are often easier to replace than other contractors. It is for this reason that McKenzie Holland believes leaders should look at the following points raised below by renowned entrepreneurs:

Richard Branson - 'Decisiveness is key.'

The Virgin Group founder states, "one of the most important skills any leader can learn is when to be decisive, and when to take a step back and look at the wider picture before making the big calls." McKenzie Holland strongly believes that decisive managers make better leaders, and claim that better decisions can be made when listening and respecting all opinions involved in a given situation. Branson states that temptation to make these decisions quickly should be avoided, as a good leader should evaluate all possibilities in a cool, calm and collective manner - yet ultimately confident in his or her final decision, taking control of the situation.

Mary Barra - 'Good ideas don't have a hierarchy.'

As CEO of General Motors Barra acknowledges that some of the best ideas don't come from upper management, "No matter your industry, ideas can come from anywhere - from the line, the retail floor, or at your engineering center." McKenzie Holland agrees with Barra's statement, and share the opinion that being inclusive in leadership rallies contractors around a collective vision, and ensures solutions are evaluated from every angle.

Max Levchin: 'Look after your team.'

Levchin is the cofounder of PayPal and current CEO of Affirm, and he believes that good leadership entails getting a team to perform to the best of their ability - 'A great leader knows how to identify and navigate around the team members' weaknesses and capitalize on their strengths.'

McKenzie Holland specializes in a unique form of direct marketing, which allows them to connect with consumers on behalf of their clients' brands. The firm has an active pursuit of staying ahead of the game regardless of the success they have already achieved, as they believe that there is always someone willing to overtake them. The firm also evaluates their leaders to ensure they are getting the most out of their contractors and creating a shared vision moving forward.

By keeping in touch with constantly changing consumer trends and perceptions McKenzie Holland are able to forge long-lasting relationships between brand and consumer - and this is what often leads to increased customer acquisition, retention, and loyalty for their clients.
