Business leadership is challenging for most skilled entrepreneurs as their companies move through growth development phases. Leading people and organizations is not pure science and requires continuous development and change. Adopting and applying some of these core concepts can help ensure that you lead your organization effectively through its growth phases. Effective leadership requires an investment in yourself as well as your people—to have all stakeholders focused on the vision and goals of the organization within the business model that you have created. The ability to build a business that is not only successful in the short term, but one that is sustainable and continues to build equity for the future is what separates successful business leaders from the rest.

Continuity in a business’ management team is important, in terms of maintaining a “living” corporate history, enabling an organization to successfully function and meet customer commitments, and providing overall stability.  It is important for a business to ensure that it has sufficient expertise in all key positions, thereby enabling it to continue to operate, despite the temporary or permanent loss of key members of the organization.  Businesses can do this by developing a succession plan for important positions within the company, especially those at a senior management level.
