Expressed wants and needs of employees, family, strategic partners, and customers can feel like a constant push and pull environment as a business owner.  Add in external influences such as the pandemic, the political climate, supply chain, and finding workers; our environment is constantly changing, which requires strong leadership with a strategic mindset.

Strong leadership does not mean you have to know all of the answers all of the time.  It may mean you show vulnerability with your team and admit you don’t know. If you are feeling your mind racing with wonderment, take a deep breath and leverage the energy for good by moving from a feeling of panic to an attitude of resourcefulness.  In those moments, connect with your why – mission and vision behind what you do – and lean on your years of experience problem solving, the team you have assembled, and doing a lot with very little.

As you move to a resourceful ‘Give me your best shot’ attitude, leverage what we know to your advantage.
