The Benevolent Dictator


Listen Later

Have you ever heard of a benevolent dictatorship? This is a system where one person at the top makes decisions with kindness, care, and wisdom. While we might never see a benevolent dictator in government, this model can be incredibly effective in business. In today’s episode, we’re going to discuss why advisors need to lean into this effective form of leadership.

Time and time again, I see advisors struggle with decisive leadership, seeking feedback and approval from their staff members or spouses who don't work in the office. It’s important to remember that everyone is motivated by self-interest and that your employees and loved ones will never view your business the way that you do. This doesn’t mean that asking for ideas is a bad thing, but you shouldn’t base any of your decisions on what you think their reactions are going to be.

Remember, it's impossible to do the right thing while making everyone happy. Be kind, but be stern, and make decisions with the best interest of the business at heart. Click play to learn more about how this model can be an absolute game-changer in your business.

 

Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:

  • The benefits of benevolent dictatorship in business leadership
  • Common challenges advisors face with decision-making and seeking approval
  • The differences in perspectives between business owners and employees
  • Making decisions based on business priorities rather than anticipated reactions
