Lead Well, Do Little?

When running a small business, it’s easy to get quickly overwhelmed and stressed with all the tasks at hand. In a fun article from Inc, entitledĀ A Great Leader Often Does Very Little, they outline that great leaders often do just that- very little. What? They do little…very little?

The key to being a leader is to have that vision, that strategy that will make the business successful, not filling every hole, or doing everything yourself.
