About 95% of business owners fail within the first 5 years of their company, according to an article in Entrepreneur. Developing excellent leadership skills can help you avoid the same fate. 4Corners Business Centers, your premier provider of office space rental, discusses key leadership traits that can help your business thrive:
Going All-In
Attention spans are shorter than ever now thanks to technology, which has infiltrated every corner of our lives. Distractions, however, can negatively affect your performance and social skills. Most successful leaders have a habit of going all-in. This doesn’t mean permanently ignoring their phones or other distractions when you’re in your office or a conference room rental. Instead, leaders who go all in make sure to focus their attention on whatever task occupies them in that moment. When they are on the phone, they focus exclusively on the call. Multi-tasking may sound like a positive trait, but in reality, you can achieve better results by single-tasking.
Saying “No”
Entrepreneurs are usually optimistic and passionate people. Successful entrepreneurs, however, know when and how to say no, and will not hesitate to decline opportunities that would not meaningfully advance the business. Saying no to some things frees you up to say yes to the things that can truly help improve your business.
Dedication to Lifelong Learning
It’s rare to find a successful leader who doesn’t believe in lifelong learning. Between podcasts, audiobooks, and advanced learning courses you can take at night or on the weekends, the options you have to continue learning are endless. Continually improving and honing your knowledge helps broaden your worldview, allowing you to make better decisions and use better judgment.
Along with the right leadership traits, you also need the proper office space to allow your business to bloom. 4Corners Business Centers recently opened a Scarsdale branch that offers quality virtual offices. We also offer corporate amenities such as a meeting room rental. Our new Scarsdale office features an easily accessible Class A office complex.
