5 Tips for Renewing Yourself as a Leader
1) Take a time-out each day. Put a “Gone Thinking” sign on your door and don’t let anyone disturb you.
2) Pursue hobbies and interests outside your business. They’ll provide relaxation and may inspire creative ideas that you can feed back into the business.
3) Take a vacation or a sabbatical. (But first, make sure you leave the company in good hands!)
4) Spend time with your family. Kids provide a refreshing perspective.
5) Do something you’ve always wanted to do but never did—learn to build a house, or take a course in acting.
5 Tips on Managing Yourself
1) Recognize when you’ve outrun your abilities. When one entrepreneur saw that her skills were not adequate to manage her company, she hired a president to handle day-to-day operations.
2) Get a CEO coach. Skilled consultants can help you learn how to take your company to the next level. SCORE can help.
3) Open yourself to being transformed. Listen, really listen, to employees. Let go of old notions of leadership (managing by fear, for example).
4) Be self-aware. Many business owners say self-awareness is essential to understanding what leadership style works for you.
5) Be a servant leader. Consider it your responsibility to serve employees and customers.
