Are you a bad boss?

Leadership is vital to success as a small business owner.

As a business owner, it’s easy to feel the world's weight is resting on your shoulders. Unfortunately, this stress and anxiety can result in less-than-ideal leadership traits, like micromanaging, obsession with perfection, and a lack of trust or open communication with team members.

Some people wonder, what does it matter as long as the work is still getting done? Here’s why: toxic work culture is the main issue people cite when they leave a job, and turnover can be very costly for a business owner, especially on a small scale.

From my experience, I’ve found that many business owners don’t even realize that they’re misbehaving, and it sometimes takes the help of a business coach to point out to them what their employees or team members are too afraid to point out themselves.
