Why How You Live is How You Lead: The Five Steps to Building a Great Team
More often than not, the best entrepreneurs and CEO leaders are profoundly self-aware and understand leadership is a profound responsibility.
It’s why the best business leaders often hear from team members and customers this one thing: “You’ve made a big difference in my life.”
Today we talk about why women in business are being called to innovate the corporate and entrepreneurial leadership – and how to avoid the all-too-common mistakes women entrepreneurs make when it comes to hiring and inspiring a great team.
Only 2% of female founders make it to the 7-figure revenue milestone, so how to avoid the roadblocks of perfectionism, control, isolation and fear of success so many women in business express and experience?
Kris Plachy is the creator of the Lead Your Team Roadmap, and a proven expert in entrepreneurial management helping hundreds of business leaders build and manage great teams so they can scale their businesses.
Kris is also passionate about mentoring women entrepreneurs and today, along with her 5-Step Team Roadmap, she shares why she believes women are uniquely suited to innovate new styles of leadership that is more nurturing, collaborative, intuitive and mission driven.
“What we’re needing is for women to drop the need to be something they’re not, and step completely into who they are,” says Kris.
We talk about Kris’ One Thriving Woman mission, and why when one woman thrives, she helps her sisters to do the same – a mission very much in alignment with Wings’ #LiftAsWecClimb ethos.
