In today's business world, the most effective leaders are those who drive growth within their organizations and are also able to successfully manage change.
Innovative business leaders have several things in common. They are creative, open-minded, and always looking for new ways to improve their businesses. They are also willing to take risks and are not afraid of failure. These leaders are constantly innovating and trying new things to stay ahead of the competition. They are the growth change agents.
More and more businesses are looking for leaders who can not only oversee day-to-day operations but can also act as a change agent and help to steer the company in new and innovative directions.
While there are many different styles of leadership, the most effective growth-oriented leaders share some common characteristics. They are typically visionary and entrepreneurial, with the ability to see opportunity where others see only challenges. They are also risk-takers who are not afraid to experiment and try new things, even if that means making mistakes along the way.
Perhaps most importantly, growth-oriented leaders are able to inspire and motivate others to buy into their vision and help make it a reality. They are excellent communicators, with the ability to articulate their ideas in a way that gets people excited and on board with their plans. They are also generally very passionate about their work and their companies, and this passion is often contagious.

1 年Good article, but you are expecting too much from the entrepreneur. By definition innovative business leaders are entrepreneurs. Many are visionaries and inventors but not so great at managing others. That is why teams are much more successful. I have seen visionaries work up the crowd and motivate their team and the customers. However, they often are impatient problem solvers and aggressive in removing obstacles and many have ADHD. Given the description you provided of the characteristics, it takes a team not an individual. I know because I have been referred to as a visionary and a serial entrepreneur. However, when I did not have a team and did not delegate, my ventures did not do so well. I was diagnosed with ADHD, which enabled me to constantly look for options to overcome obstacles. GPS (curiosity) in my head is always working looking for alternatives. And by the way failure is just a bump along the road to discovery.
