Description
Leadership is a challenge at the best of times what with the shifting landscapes, the unknowns and the staff dynamics all making for a unique mix requiring a steady hand, a level head and many more qualities too long to list here.
However, all leadership roles are not equal, and while you may already be a successful business leader, this does not automatically mean you're a quality candidate to lead that new startup you're considering.
If you've never lead a startup then this course is for you.
Join me as I explain the uniquely particular dynamics of startup leadership. The pitfalls to avoid, the approaches that work - and those that don't (or won't.) How to set your cultural tone, the mindset of the team and knowing the importance of your numbers - especially "Dunbars" and what that means to your startup's future.
I'll discuss the importance of making your startup a 'drama free zone' and what happens if you don't. We'll discuss the all-important runway and burn metrics and why fear has no place in a startup (no matter what.)
If you're leading (or about to lead) your first startup then this training is perfect for you.
Enroll now, and I'll see you inside!
Who this course is for:
- Leaders who are (or about to be) running a startup and want to considerably improve their chances of survival.
