  • - So in terms of what is my leadership style?

  • (upbeat music)

  • There's this company that I am working with,

  • at the beginning when they have a small group,

  • not a lot of people within the company,

  • family vibe and it's okay.

  • They were providing a very good service,

  • it's always on time,

  • everything seems to be fine.

  • As they are growing they have different divisions,

  • they have acquired a new company

  • and then everything turns into shit.

  • I mean they're not getting back to their client,

  • they're not even delivering on what they promise

  • and I look at that and I would say

  • the biggest problem they have is because the CEO

  • lacks leadership skill.

  • The company itself has outgrown the capabilities

  • of the CEO.

  • There are many different forms of leadership style.

  • One, you could have leaders who are leading by dictatorship,

  • meaning it's my way or the highway.

  • It's only one way to do something,

  • that they don't listen to anybody.

  • It's very much like top to bottom,

  • that's it, this is how we do it.

  • They don't listen to anybody.

  • Now it might work in the old days,

  • it doesn't work today,

  • especially when you're working with young people.

  • They wanna express themselves, right,

  • they wanna have space where they could grow,

  • they want to voice out their opinions.

  • You gotta listen to them, right?

  • Or you have some people,

  • they're managing, they're leading by consense.

  • Meaning, they wanna wait for everybody,

  • wait for everybody agrees on something.

  • That everybody likes the decision,

  • don't wanna hurt anyone's feelings.

  • The problem with that,

  • nothing gets fucking done, it doesn't get done.

  • You're not moving forward because you care

  • way too much about other people's feelings

  • versus the job, what needs to be done.

  • And sometimes, those things,

  • you gotta make a tough decision

  • and you're gonna make some decisions

  • that are not popular,

  • that maybe your people, your team doesn't like

  • but that's why you are in the leadership position.

  • You get paid the big bucks

  • because you can make those tough decisions.

  • That's your job, not anybody's job.

  • No-one can do that for you.

  • My leadership style is actually very simple.

  • I manage by persuasion.

  • Meaning I wanna find out the goals, the dreams

  • of each member.

  • What do they want?

  • Where do they want to be?

  • Once I understand their personality type,

  • once I understand their goals and dreams,

  • I wanna put them in the right seat.

  • And sometimes where you think is the right seat

  • may not be the right seat right away.

  • Right person in the right seat.

  • And my job's not to micro-manage.

  • My job is to create the platform,

  • the environment so they could flourish

  • and give them clear milestones so they hit those milestones

  • and me holding them accountable.

  • Done properly, they should hold themselves accountable.

  • That's my leadership style.

  • I don't believe in micro-managing

  • because as you grow you cannot micro-manage.

  • You cannot be going in there being a control freak

  • trying to oh, how about this, how about that,

  • every little thing, you will not be able to grow.

  • You will not be able to scale doing it that way.

  • You have to let go.

  • You have to put your ego aside.

  • Being okay it's not done exactly the way you want it to

  • 100% but it is done.

  • At least it's done.

  • The pride of ownership.

  • That kills a business more than anything else.

  • You're choking your business to death.

  • You're not letting go, you're not trusting people.

  • What you're really saying is

  • you're not trusting yourself as a leader,

  • that's why you don't trust nobody.
