Young business owners come up against many challenges in the day to day running of their businesses, therefore trying to gain the respect of older professionals is an unnecessary barrier. As a young business owner himself, Gavin Walsh of MarketStorm Global Ltd gives his advice on how to gain respect and find the right approach to leadership.
MarketStorm Global Ltd says that being a young business leader can mean a constant struggle to be taken seriously. They may have all the necessary skills to become an excellent business owner but the older generation may not take them seriously, no matter how smart they look. The firm believes that a good leader must be well-educated, open-minded and a good communicator. These are traits that are often assumed to belong to those who have been around longer and are therefore wiser. However, MarketStorm Global Ltd believes that many young entrepreneurs have these traits and are being over looked. Being brought up in a very technical world, young entrepreneurs also possess many other leadership traits that make a good business owner such as, being flexible and adaptable, being open to change, being interested in feedback and being incredibly enthusiastic.
MarketStorm Global Ltd’s Managing Director, Gavin Walsh, made the jump from employee to leader and tackled many challenges along the way. It is hard enough for any business owner to get their business off the ground and make sure it succeeds. Gavin Walsh says that it wasn’t an option for him to not be taken seriously. As a business owner, Gavin Walsh had to earn the respect of fellow business owners and find his own approach to leadership. Networking was an excellent way to do this. Not only did this mean making connections and contacts but networking also meant that Mr Walsh could spend time learning valuable leadership skills that he could then implement into his own business. The firm currently runs a Business Development Program to instil these skills into other young entrepreneurs who aim to become successful business owners.
Being a leader can be tough at the best of times but being a young leader brings the added pressure of others equating youth with inexperience and not being taken seriously. MarketStorm Global Ltd says that young leaders should follow these steps in order to have older employees, colleagues and business associates respect and take them seriously.
