5 Motivating Leadership Styles: What Kind Of Leader Are You?

Would you buy what you’re selling if you saw it for the first time?

Before you answer this question, you have to take a step back and disassociate yourself from the situation.

If you were a stranger that saw your brand, your content, and your image…

Would you like what you see?

Unfortunately, the answer for most is no.

The reason being is that most people don’t truly have a voice that connects with their ideal client.

You have:

  • 10 to 20 years of experience
  • High-level education
  • Applicable expertise

These key factors are a recipe of value you have that millions of people would benefit from.

Some lives may be forever transformed if they are able to connect with your products or services.

How will your target audience know you can help them if they can’t get past the front door?

The front door being the way you lead and the way you display your leadership capabilities.

The leadership style you have directly correlates with how successful people will perceive you. If you want to increase the chances of people doing business with you, it all starts with your leadership style.

This is your chance to dominate as a leader other leaders are eager to follow.

What Is A Leadership Style?

A leadership style is the way you lead others and the manner in which you do so. It’s based on your personality, values, experiences, and the environment you lead in.

There are many different leadership styles, but not all of them are created equal.

The 5 leadership styles that will motivate people to believe in your vision are:

1. The Visionary Leader

2. The Motivational Leader

3. The Authoritative Leader

4. The Innovative Leader

5. The Servant Leader

Let’s explore each one so you can get a better idea of which leadership style suits you best.

Read until the end to find out how you a combination of these styles is your recipe for unstoppable growth and expansion.

The Visionary Leader

Are you the type of person that likes to see the big picture? Do you have a knack for seeing potential where others don’t? If so, you may be a visionary leader.

Visionary leaders are able to see the potential in people and organizations. They have a gift for seeing what could be, even when it’s not yet apparent to others.

This type of leader is often creative and driven by a strong sense of purpose. They’re not afraid to take risks and are always looking for new ways to achieve their goals.

If you’re a visionary leader, you likely have a clear vision for your business or organization. You know where you want to go and what you need to do to get there.

You’re also confident in your ability to inspire others and help them see your vision. People are drawn to your optimistic attitude and your ability to see the best in people.

The Motivational Leader

Having the ability to motivate others is a true skill. If you can do it, people will follow you anywhere.

When it comes to the business world and life in general, being a motivational leader is paramount.

Being a leader that’s passionate about the vision and enthusiastic about the vision is going to quickly rub off on everyone in your charge. This will allow your employees to have a strong desire to succeed.

New ways to inspire and motivate their team is always at the forefront of their mind . They are always thinking of how they can better connect with their team and get them to buy into the vision.

Motivational leaders naturally draw people in with their optimistic attitude and their ability to see the best in people. You have a way of making others feel inspired and motivated to achieve their goals.

The Authoritative Leader

Knowing how to take charge as a leader is a very important skill. People need to know that you’re in control and that you have the knowledge and experience to back up your decisions.

The most impactful leaders use their authoritative skills to project true confidence as they make directional decisions for their business.

They know how to get things done even when presented with the toughest decisions so they garner much-deserved respect from others for their knowledge and experience.

People know that they can trust this type of leader to make the best decisions for the team.

The Innovative Leader

Innovation drives business agility and sustainable success.

Being able to see game-changing innovations in your mind’s eye is incredible quality, but that alone is not going to carry your business to success.

Innovative leaders are always looking for ways to improve upon the status quo and they know how to ensure every single one of their employees is on board. They’re not afraid to try new things and are always looking for ways to push the envelope.

This allows them to create a business that’s always moving forward and always adapting to the ever-changing landscape.

The Servant Leader

Your business is nothing without the people you promise to serve.

A servant leader is someone who puts the needs of others first. They’re always looking for ways to help their team members grow and develop.

Every aspect of your business depends on people being able to see the value you deliver, apply this to their own lives, and make massive impact on their own community.

How Heightened Business Agility Is The New Mark Of Success

For your business to survive in today’s economy, you have to constantly improve. Consistently delivering more value than your competitors is the new standard. You either keep up or get left in the dust.

I get it. The idea of moving faster and working harder than everyone in your industry may seem exhausting. Challenging yes, but more than worth it with the right strategy to guarantee success.

Let me explain.

Staying ahead of the power curve in business becomes a simple process when you have the right executive coach by your side.

An experienced executive coach will help you develop and maintain the growth mindset necessary to quickly react when the ever-changing business landscape takes an unexpected turn.

Do you have someone in your corner who has this kind of experience?

If not, you’re already behind the eight ball but that’s exactly why you landed on this page. I’m here to catch you up to speed.

Are You Equipped With Agility Of The Mind?

When you have an agile mindset, you can rapidly adapt to new situations and conquer any new challenges that come your way. This also means having a clear vision, making smart decisions, and knowing when to pivot as a way to propel your business forward.

I’m going to be honest with you so listen closely.

If you want to stay ahead of the competition, you need to be agile. And if you want to be agile, you need an executive coach.

I’m not just saying this because I’m an executive coach, I’m saying it because it’s the truth. Having access to an external, objective third party provides the clarity you need to be decisive.

So how do you improve your business agility? How do you become leaner, meaner, and more responsive to change? Your customers deserve value and that’s exactly what you have to give.

The real question is, how do you over-deliver on value without breaking the bank?

The answer is simple: business agility.

What Is Business Agility?

Business agility is the ability to rapidly adapt to changes in the marketplace. It’s about being observant, aware, and responsive. You need to know what your goals are and you need to have a plan for how you’re going to achieve them.

You also need to be able to execute that plan quickly and efficiently. This means having the right team in place and having systems and processes in place that allow you to move quickly.

Being agile also means being able to rapidly pivot when the situation calls for it. There will be times when you need to make a major change in direction, a calculated risk. This risk can quickly be the difference between success and failure.

When you’re able to rapidly pivot, you’re able to take advantage of opportunities that come your way. You’re also able to avoid potential disasters.

Are you ready for the challenge?

If so, then follow these top 3 keys to building organizational agility.

1. Apply Agility To Your Everyday Business Operations

How does your team currently operate?

Are they able to speak their mind and provide incredible value or are you hogging the role of the only visionary in the group?

The ability for you and your team to have honest conversations about the business is key to operating with agility. If you’re not able to have these types of conversations, you’re likely not making decisions quickly enough or with a holistic picture of the situation.

You need to be able to identify what’s working and what’s not working and then make adjustments accordingly. This type of feedback loop is essential for business agility.

What processes do you currently have in place? Are they effective or are they bogging you down?

The goal is to have processes in place that allow you to expedite every movement without sacrificing quality.

This means streamlining your operations and automating where possible. It also means ditching the old ways of doing things that are no longer effective. By automating your processes, you’re able to free up time and resources that can be better used elsewhere.

You’re also able to eliminate human error and make your operations more efficient.

Automation is a key part of business agility.

2. Embrace Change And Be Willing To Take Risks

To be agile, you need to be willing to embrace change.

This means being open to new ideas and new ways of doing things. It also means being willing to take risks.

You need to be able to experiment and try new things. This is the only way you’re going to find what works for your business. If you’re not scaling, you’re not pushing yourself to your highest potential.

3. Develop A Laser-Like Focus On Your Customers

What does your customer want?

This is the question you need to be asking yourself at all times.

Your customers are the reason you’re in business and they should be your primary focus.

Everything you do should be designed to provide them with value.

This means always delivering on your promises and providing them with an incredible experience.

It also means being responsive to their needs and wants. You need to be able to quickly adapt to changes in the marketplace and deliver what they’re looking for.

By keeping your customers at the forefront of everything you do, you’re able to operate with agility.

STOP Doing This: 10 Destructive Tactics That Are Destroying Your Business

Your high-level expertise is going to waste.

If you’re like most business owners, you want to be seen as an expert in your field. After all, your unique experience is why you’re here today. You’ve worked hard to build up your knowledge and skills, and you want to be able to share that with the world.

During the past 10 to 20 years you’ve:

  • Worked up to a 5 or 6-figure income
  • Taken on high-level responsibilities and completed your job with excellence
  • Earned the title of Director, Manager, or Executive within your current organization

… But there’s a problem.

You’re not sharing your expertise with the world. You’re not even sharing it with your customers.

Instead, you’re using it to destroy your business.

You see, there are certain actions business owners take that are incredibly destructive. They might not seem like a big deal at the time, but they can have a profound effect on the success of your business.

So, what are these destructive tactics? And more importantly, how can you avoid them?

1. Refusing to Delegate

You may believe you’re the only one capable of completing certain tasks within your business. That’s simply not true. This is where your hiring abilities start to come into play. There are plenty of professionals out there who are willing and able to help you build your empire.

Delegating doesn’t mean that you’re giving up control of your business. It just means that you’re sharing the workload so that you can focus on what’s most important – continuing to push your vision forward with innovative ideas and creative solutions.

2. Completing Every Task Yourself

Related to the point above, if you want your business to expand, you need to let other experts take the reins in their specific areas of expertise. In other words, know when it’s time for you to get back in your lane!

Trying to do everything yourself is a recipe for burnout.

3. Working Too Much – Yes, There Is Such A Thing…

Sure, you might be able to get away with working 80 hours per week for a certain amount of time, but that’s not sustainable in the long run. Even if you can sustain that level of work for decades, it’s taking a serious toll on your body you may not see until it’s too late.

Eventually, you’re going to need to take a break.

Why not choose to take care of your mind and body now so you can continue working within your passion with the same level of fire for many years to come?

Striking the perfect work-life integration stride is essential to living your dream life.

4. Not Prioritizing Your Time

How many times have you caught yourself staring off into space or scrolling through your phone for “just a few minutes?” Then, those few minutes turned into a couple of hours, and BOOM, your schedule for the day was completely thrown off.

Starting each day with a detailed schedule will protect your mind from wandering between tasks without a plan of attack. Also, creating a list will help you prioritize your responsibilities to ensure your high-ticket responsibilities are being completed during your most productive state.

If you make sure you plan out your days the night before, your efficiency will exponentially increase and the exponential growth of your business will follow suit.

5. Not Sleeping Enough

You don’t have to sleep for 10 hours every single night or any night for that matter but, you do have to make sure your body has time to rest and recharge. Let’s be real here.

Not allowing your body to receive the right amount of rest can cause chronic health problems to develop within your body. From heart disease and kidney disease to obesity and depression, sleep deprivation is no joke.

Not everyone needs the same amount of sleep to stay healthy. Simply listen to your body and make sure you treat it right so it can work for you when you need it most.

6. Not Eating Right

Eating junk food 3 meals a day every single day isn’t the way to go.

No matter who you are or what you do, fast food meals should never be your go-to nourishment option.

I get it. Being on the go makes finding time to cook breakfast and lunch extremely difficult.

Simply set aside time every single week to plan and prep as many meals in advance as possible to ensure your grab-and-go options are going to be packed with nutrients, vitamins, and of course, flavor!

7. Not Taking Vacations

When you hear the word vacation, you may instantly start thinking of skipping town and heading to the beach. Or, maybe booking the next flight to Paris. Although these are traditional representations of vacation, you don’t always have to leave home to rejuvenate yourself.

Taking small breaks every once in a while is extremely important for your mental and physical health. These breaks don’t have to come in the form of two-week-long getaways. You must dedicate a small portion of your day, every single day, to nurture your mental as well as physical health.

This break can come in the form of traveling to be surrounded by other like-minded leaders who are going to fill up your cup with successfully proven business resources that get results. Our Business To Brand Bootcamp in Myrtle Beach is the perfect place to do just that.

Before you know it, your body and mind will start working for you instead of against you when you’re focusing on your next BIG breakthrough.

8. Not Planning for the Future

Where do you see your business in 5 years? 10 years?

Without a plan, it’s easy to get off track and end up in a place you don’t want to be. This is why working towards a long-term vision is essential to your business’ success.

Once you begin to add more members to your team, you must make the vision clear and ensure every member is truly passionate about the role they play in executing the mission and scaling the business to its full potential.

Set daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly goals every step of the way.

9. Not Learning from Your Mistakes

Everyone makes mistakes, we’re human, but let’s not sit on that for too long. The real lesson here is to always learn from your errors so you don’t make them again. As your brand continues to grow, a mistake that costs you $20 right now can cost you $20,000 in the future.

Take some time to reflect on your past mistakes and figure out what you could have done differently. Then, make sure to apply those lessons to your business so those faults never find a way to cause more detriment to your success.

5 Industry-Leading Secrets To Maintaining An Elevated Personal Brand Everyone Respects

As basketball season starts to kick off, this has already been an eventful week for the branding world.

So, how does the beginning of basketball season correlate to you building and elevating your personal brand? One monumental deal that has legacy written all over it.

Lebron James’ son, Bronny James, signs a NIL deal with Beats by Dre.

Think about it. This is a successful high school basketball player signing an endorsement deal.

He is being paid to simply wear and use Beats products, as he’s already done organically for years.

While this is a very unique and rare case, it does show the importance and value of personal branding, even at a young age.

Think about it, what eighteen-year-old do you know in your inner circle that has their own personal brand and is being paid to endorse products?

This is a testament to the power of personal branding and how it can change your life.

Yes, your life.

How amazing would it feel if you could use your own brand to support your children’s dreams?

It’s not impossible.

In fact, it’s easier than ever to get started with building a successful personal brand.

Top 5 Industry-Leading Secrets To Build A Lucrative Brand

1. Find Your Niche and Become The Master

What are you passionate about? What do you want to be known for? What skills have you spent years developing?

These are important questions to answer when figuring out your personal brand. You can’t be everything to everyone, so finding your niche is key. Once you know what you want to be known for, you can start to build your brand around that.

Your personal brand should be an extension of what you’re naturally good at. It should be something you enjoy doing and are passionate about.

For example, if you’re a marketing expert, your personal brand should be all about marketing. You should be known as the go-to marketing person in your industry.

You can become the master of your niche by writing articles, giving speeches, and creating helpful content that educates others in your field.

2. Be Omnipresent On Multiple Social Media Platforms To Share Your Expertise

When you’re ready to serve, you need to put the world on notice. This means being active and sharing your expertise on multiple platforms.

The most effective way to get your name out there is to focus on the two or three platforms where your target audience is most active while still having a strong presence on others.

For example, if you’re trying to reach businesses, LinkedIn would be an optimal platform to consistently post content. If you’re trying to reach consumers, Facebook and Instagram would be highly profitable choices.

No matter how many platforms you join, always stay consistent with your message.

3. Create Compelling Content That Educates And Inspires

If you want to be seen as an expert in your field, you need to create compelling content that educates and inspires others. This could be in the form of blog posts, articles, videos, or podcasts.

When you deliver high-quality content before a consumer invests in your company, you are building high-level trust that can’t be broken. Your audience will be more willing to respect your words when they know that you are willing to serve them in multiple capacities.

Your goal should be to educate and inspire others with your content so they see you as a thought leader in your industry.

4. Build Relationships With Key Players In Your Industry

Lebron didn’t gain respect and elevate his position in the NBA by not being a team player.

Basketball doesn’t work that way and neither does the world. There is no doubt that he wouldn’t have been as successful if he didn’t create unique bonds with every member of his team.

He learned what made his teammates tick to discover how he could best serve and lead them to championship after championship.

The same is true in business. You need to build relationships with key players in your industry if you want to be seen as a leader.

The best way to develop relationships with influential voices is to reach out and engage with them online. Share their content, leave thoughtful comments, and connect with them on social media.

You can also attend industry events and networking functions to meet these people in person. These relationships will help you further your own brand and serve a wider audience.

5. Stay Consistent, Be Authentic, and Offer Value

One of the most crucial aspects of sustaining a successful personal brand is being authentic in everything you do. People can see through fake brands, so make sure your brand is reflective of who you truly are. This comes in the form of value to your audience.

Whether you’re sharing helpful tips, interesting articles, or inspiring stories, make sure it’s something that will add incredible value to their lives.

So, what’s next for you?

By implementing these 5 tips and taking action in your own life, you can create a strong personal brand that will help you achieve your wildest dreams. Generational wealth is yours to take and your name is a legacy in the making.

Take Lebron’s legacy for example.

The Legacy Continues From Lebron To Bronny

Back in 2008, Lebron James became the first ambassador for Beats by Dre.

This was a huge deal as he was the first non-musician to be signed by the company.

Since then, James has continued to elevate his personal brand and has become one of the most recognizable athletes in the world.

Now, his son is following in his footsteps and taking advantage of the power of personal branding.

You don’t have to be a sports fan or know how to play basketball to understand how a respectable personal brand can be your ticket to wealth, prosperity, and fulfillment.

What Can YOU Learn From This?

There are a few key critical takeaways we can learn from Bronny James and his father, Lebron.

  • It’s never too early to start building your personal brand.
  • You don’t need to be a celebrity or have a large platform to start reaping the benefits of personal branding.
  • With 10 to 20 years of experience in your industry of expertise, you can lean into your high-value skill set to make massive income and massive impact in your community.

If you take anything away from this article, let it be these three key points.

  1. Building a personal brand can change your life, so start sooner rather than later.
  2. You don’t need to be famous to have a successful personal brand.
  3. Embrace what makes you unique and use it to build a strong personal brand.

At this point, the only question you should be asking yourself is…
