Leading Teams
Program
DMA™ - Small Business Services Specialist
Overview
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.

Opportunity
Leadership is critical to the success and sustainability of an organization, but many business owners take it for granted and often ignore the skills necessary to become an effective leader of a growing organization. Moving from a core team of one to four people to the next level of five to fifteen can be challenging when it comes to knowing what it takes to build a culture, a team, and how to invest in the people who work with you to create an effective organization.
This course will help you understand what is required to build your leadership and organizational skills and to be prepared for continuous change as your business evolves towards expansion and maturity. It will also help you understand that successful leadership does not stop with you; building and coaching a team, as well as a new generation of owners, is critical to growing the equity in your company over time.

From a continuity standpoint, you'll discover how to construct a sustainable business model at the next level, and onward to maturity, and how to build equity with a sustainable organization that can live on without you.
