Being an effective leader means knowing how to motivate a team, but also requires self-reflection and understanding when to make adjustments to create more cohesion.  

In this episode, I cover how Colonel Glover Johns’ 13 leadership principles translate to running a successful small business.    

In this episode, you’ll also hear: 

• Value of leadership skills for small business owners   


• Focusing on improvement, resiliency, camaraderie   


• Power of enthusiasm, empathy, and effective communication 

Must-listen moments:  

[00:00:24 ] It's so important as a small business owner to realize that you are not just running a business; you are a leader. And you're a leader to your team, and you're a leader to your clients. You are exemplifying everything about your company through your leadership skills. 

[00:04:49 ] If you continue to self-evaluate and learn, and learn how to do things better, it helps you to be a better leader. 

[00:17:51 ] Knowing when to advocate for a cause and when to accept a collective decision ensures that you are going to get buy-in from your team and you're going to have a cohesive team dynamic.
