The most important thing you can do for your business is build a solid business plan. A well-crafted strategy lays the foundation for your company’s future success.

However, having a plan is not enough — execution is where many businesses falter. The everyday grind, urgent tasks, and shiny distractions often derail even the best-laid strategies. Without a clear vision paired with a solid strategy, your plan risks becoming just a daydream.

To truly grow your business and achieve your goals, it’s essential to have a leadership team that not only understands the plan but can also execute it.

This is where self-leadership comes into play. As a leader, it’s your responsibility to develop your team and help them grow into effective leaders themselves. Leadership isn’t just about managing tasks — it’s about setting the compass for your organization, ensuring everyone is aligned with the vision, core values, and purpose.

This alignment is what differentiates a leader operating from their A-Game versus their B-Game. When a leader is in their A-Game, they are clear on their purpose, focused on the big picture, and able to drive their team forward. Operating from the B-Game, on the other hand, leads to reactive decision-making, a lack of clarity, and, ultimately, a decline in productivity. Your business’s culture and success depend on leaders consistently showing up at their best — on their A-Game.

The formula for achieving results is simple: your intention (your vision and strategy) times attention (your execution plan) equals results. Leaders must ensure that everyone in the company is following the same vision, values, and purpose. When your team feels aligned and engaged, they are more likely to become willing participants in helping your business thrive.

Ultimately, the principal role of a leader is to set the course, align their team, and lead by example. Are your people following you?
