When you drill down into leadership styles, there are two main categories. There are action-oriented leaders who keep things moving along, and a lot gets done in a relatively short period of time, but their output can often fall short of perfect. And there are reflective leaders who need a lot of data, information, and time to figure out which route to take.

Women run around 29% of UK small businesses. As with most small businesses, many do not successfully scale. Of the six million UK businesses in 2022, just 32,000 (0.01%) grow beyond 45 employees, and only 8,000 businesses scale to the point that they employ more than 250 people.
What’s more, a whopping 4.25m UK businesses don’t employ anyone other than the founder. These disappointing figures are skewed towards women, with fewer female entrepreneurs scaling and/or exiting their businesses.

If you are trusted, your team will follow you. Being trustworthy allows people to feel safe, and from a place of safety, people can better express themselves, allow their creativity to flow, have some fun, and even feel confident to challenge you when they need to. This creates a great workplace culture where employees feel supported, happy, heard, and inspired.

Fear of digital attacks is at an all-time high. China, in particular, has been portrayed as a huge threat to the global West – a threat that needs defending against at all costs.

It is possible to be a kind, caring leader without burning out but demands on modern leaders can make it difficult to achieve. Business leaders are now expected to embody a wide range of (often contradictory) personality traits. They are expected to be decisive yet flexible, empathetic yet analytical, and clear yet nuanced. It is an ever-growing list of expectations that is exhausting and unrealistic for any single person.

We can treat what is around us as simply a set of knowledge.

When your business needs new and different ideas, there isn’t a magic creativity tap you can turn on and off. For individuals in the workplace, being recognized as an ‘ideas person’ is considered a badge of honor. Someone who excels at resolving hard challenges and who can identify interesting growth opportunities on demand is a valuable person to any organization. They are also rare.
