Taking The Lead
Are you a good leader? Ask the people who follow you.
Entrepreneurship and leadership don't necessarily
go hand-in-hand, but entrepreneurs who are strong leaders
significantly increase the likelihood they'll build an
enduring, profitable company. "Leaders have to have
a clear vision and the ability to communicate that vision,"
says Charles A. Coonradt, president of The Game of Work Inc., a
management consulting firm in Park City, Utah, and author and
publisher of The Game of Work. "Great leaders constantly seek
to minimize uncertainty on their teams, they have a sensitivity to
the needs of their followers, and they work to bring the behavior
of their people in line with the results they want."
How strong a leader are you--and what do you need to do to
become stronger? The easiest way to find out is to ask the people
you lead. Use the following assessment test Coonradt developed for
Entrepreneur.
