4 Immutable truths of modern leadership

26 February, 2021

Contributed by Erik Kruger, founder of Modern Breed, an international learning and development firm cultivating a new breed of leaders and teams. As a speaker, writer and thinking partner for entrepreneurs and business leaders, Erik shared his expertise with Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO) members during learning events about the future of leadership. 

The ground is shifting beneath your feet. Suddenly rules that guided you yesterday have no bearing on how you navigate today.

Yet, there are laws of leadership that will guide you reliably no matter what is happening around you―immutable truths that will always strengthen your leadership abilities amidst even the greatest challenges.

I want to share four such truths.

1. In leadership we trust

“Trust each other again and again. When the trust level gets high enough, people transcend apparent limits, discovering new and awesome abilities of which they were previously unaware.” ―David Armistead

Can you imagine a time in the future when trust will not be essential for great leadership? I cannot fathom what such a scenario would look like. On the contrary, trust grows ever more critical in a world divided by fake news, abuses of power, and the distribution of the workforce.

The “trust fall” is a team-building exercise in which you fall backward and trust another person to “catch” you. The exercise is often mocked, yet thanks to the uncertainty around us, we are looking more than ever for people who will catch us―people who will have our backs.

Do not miss the opportunity to catch the digital trust falls of your people.

Colin Campbell

Isn’t it time you joined Clubhouse?

19 February, 2021

Colin CampbellContributed by Colin Campbell, EO South Florida, is an internet pioneer since 1993 and EO member since 1996 who has built multiple companies with his partners that have a combined market value of more than US$1 billion.

Colin and partners continue to launch new companies, including Startups.club, a Fort Lauderdale incubator; .Club Domains, LLC, an alternative domain extension to .com, .net and .org with more than 1 million registrations worldwide; Entrepreneur.wiki Foundation; Serial Entrepreneur Club.

After nearly a year of pandemic life in and out of lockdowns, I felt disconnected from the rest of the world. There were no tradeshows, no traveling to customers and no in-person EO events. I was living life “the pandemic way”. And it was getting old.

Then, I discovered Clubhouse, and everything changed. Clubhouse is an iPhone app that enables members to host and join audio—not video!—audio-only conversations with other users on an extensive variety of topics. Life seems so different after finding out about Clubhouse!

How my business was saved by the stage—and how it can save yours

17 February, 2021

richmullhollandContributed by Rich Mulholland, an EO member in Cape Town and founder of Missing Link.

On 15 March 2020, South African president Cyril Ramaphosa–like many other world leaders–declared a national State of Disaster. This meant that there would be no public gatherings and that a lockdown was imminent. That’s bad news if you make your living from live conferences, like we did.

By the end of the day on the 16 March, 100 percent of our upcoming jobs were cancelled, and we hit revenue-zero.

I don’t remember being more excited in years!

With challenge comes opportunity

This was opportunity. You see, what I realized that week was that for the first time in my career, there were no experts. Nobody knew where to look. So I stood up.

3 Ways to make people fall in love with your small business

12 February, 2021

 

Steffen SchebestaContributed by Steffen Schebesta, CEO of Sendinblue and a member of EO Toronto.

With Valentine’s Day upon us, now is the perfect time to make consumers fall in love with your brand. Sounds easy, right? Actually it’s much more complicated than sending your customers a birthday card in the mail.

According to a recent study, 31 percent of participants love between three and five brands, while 18 percent love between one and two. So, as a small business, how do you become one of the top brands consumers fall in love with? 

When I think back to brands I’ve fallen in love with, they typically have a few things in common: trust, personalization and convenience.
