The art of delegation. You don’t have to do everything by yourself. That much is true. After all, you only have 24 hours a day, a pair of hands, a pair of feet, and finite resources at your disposal. If you try to do everything, you’ll end up burned out and unable to proceed. You need to learn the art of delegation. It is one of the marks of a good leader. When you learn this art, you will be amazed at how much you can do.

Managing People. You also need to understand people-their personalities, quirks and their motivations. When you do, you can easily manage them and make them do things happily. The workplace can also be fun and enjoyable if people enjoy what they do and your life as a leader will also be easier.

Dealing with problems. Problems will always be there. Suppliers who will not deliver on time; employees who will be absent during critical business times; economic and financial problems will occur, and so on. These types of problems may also be turned into opportunities which you can exploit in order to improve the situation of your organization.

It’s not enough to be an entrepreneur. You also need to become a leader to ensure the long-term sustainability of your organization. Some people are good at pioneering work. But they find it difficult to manage things for the long term. By learning how to become a leader, you will understand what it will take for your enterprise to be successful.
