Using the Power of Your Leadership to Change Your Business | Michelle Lestas | TEDxBlack Mountain
What if the very things that make you different in leadership are the keys to your greatest leadership potential?Michelle Lestas, challenges the traditional mould of “A One Shoe Fits All Approach to Small Business Leadership” and invites the audience to consider: What if entrepreneurial leadership isn’t about fitting in, but about standing out? What if your perspective, shaped by your reasons to lead a particular type of small business- is exactly what shapes and forms its future strategy, its productivity and its profitability?This talk is a call to action for any small business leader and those business Consultants, Mentors, Advisors and Coaches that support them on their journey. It’s a reminder that business leadership and business strategy are completely interlinked and that successful strategy starts with each entrepreneur owning their own story.
