1. Lead by example

At Goldstream Incorporated their business philosophy is 'show not tell'. They believe that for someone to be a great leader it is essential that they lead by example. Leaders need to show, not just tell.

2. Effective communication

Both in life and in the office environment, effective communication is imperative. The best leaders make sure that they are both heard and understood, however they also understand the extreme importance of listening. Communication is a two-way street, and should not be overpowered by one party. By mastering communication it will drastically improve both an individual's business and personal life.

3. Keep meetings productive

Meetings can often be dull and unproductive. At Goldstream Incorporated they have daily meetings, so they have mastered the art of running productive meetings that are concise and to the point. In business, time is money and therefore it is vital to limit tangents and other time wasting activities during meetings.

4. Be Humble

The most successful entrepreneurs realise that there is a huge difference between being a leader and a boss. Leaders remain humble and are able to share the spotlight and give credit to others. Leaders are more relatable and are able to get the most out of their team.

5. Find a mentor

Success is very rarely a solo effort. In business, having at least one mentor is essential. Managing Director at Goldstream Incorporated, Dan Coolican has built a network of professionals who he turns to for advice and guidance. He also promotes the importance of finding a mentor to the firm's contractors. The best leaders know when they need help, and who and where to turn to in order to get it. The key is to find someone that can be trusted for advice when things get tough.

6. Learn from mistakes

Failure isn't fatal and mistakes can teach valuable lessons for the future. Most successful individuals have had numerous failures before they ultimately achieve success. Lessons should be learned.

7. Never stop learning
