What does it mean to be a truly incredible leader? Unfortunately, just because someone holds a position of leadership, doesn’t mean they should. Often times that leader has found themselves there because the leaders that put them there do not understand what actually makes a good leader, and they have been chosen for the wrong reasons.

So how do we recognize great leaders, and more importantly, how do we ensure that we are leading well. Because the real question is not how to make someone else more effective through your leadership. The real question is are you able to effectively lead yourself first.

One step away from what? That is the question we answer in this episode of Digital Connections. Are you one step away from business success, business failure, or somewhere in between? If you don't know, then you can't possible see where your next step should be to get to where you want to go.



To find the freedom you seek in your business, you must have to a clear vision of what you and your company can achieve. You need to know where you're going and why you want to go there.
