Mark, leadership has become an important part of entrepreneurship. The owner really needs to be the keeper of the flame. They need to be the person who s running out in front of the business creating the vision for it. That s a really difficult thing for most people to do. Most entrepreneurs get into the work because they like to do the actual physical work or the technical skill.
Leadership is different than that.
I think leadership today needs to be more from the heart. I think leadership today needs to be bringing the entire company and the entire team along. I think leadership today is not about that person s ego, but about what they can be doing with their organization. It s a very different idea. It s not about them being it.
