The Leadership Mindset of Entrepreneurs: Common Mistakes to Avoid

Entrepreneurship is not just about running a business, it’s about living your purpose and putting meaning behind what you do. 

However, there are certain leadership mistakes that small business owners can make that can lead to devastating consequences for both the entrepreneur and the business.

In this episode of the Joe Sova Business Show, we dive into the 3 most common leadership mistakes that business owners make, and how to avoid them. You’ll understand the importance of a leadership mindset, which is critical for driving your business and achieving bigger goals.

Micromanaging

The first mistake addressed to help you shift into a more Leadership Mindset is micromanaging. 

While it may seem like a good idea to keep a close eye on everything happening in your business, it can actually lead to burnout and a lack of trust among employees.

Giving Answers

The second mistake is giving answers to questions, or “Wizard-of-Oz Syndrome.” 

When you are running a business and constantly giving answers to your employees for the littlest questions, your team is not going to grow. 

“When I ran my business, I would constantly give my employees answers to their questions and this gave them no ability to grow, no accountability, and no risk for when something goes wrong.”

How does that positively affect your business?

“Martyr-preneur Syndrome”

As a business owner, you’re in early, you’re out late, and you’re working harder than everyone else because you feel like you have to. 

You even have the guilt of not doing enough unless you’re doing the most work on the team. If you are feeling this way – a mindset shift is needed. 

Successful entrepreneurs know that they need to do what matters most, not the most grind.
