To build a business takes a lot of good habits, and successful business owners should learn to adopt practices that can help them plot smart goals, engage their team and balance their personal and work lives. For you to avoid bad and unproductive habits, you must first identify the bad habits.

Here are five patterns to avoid when you’re leading your enterprise.

1. Setting too many goals and projects

One word that accurately describes entrepreneurs or CEOs is ‘Ambitious’ which can be a good thing; a trait that can position your business for success. However, being too ambitious can influence you to set too many goals. When there are many initiatives in the works, it can affect the output of a company.

Choose the right number of priorities to attend to at a time based on the size of your business and elements that may directly or indirectly affect your business. As the CEO of your company, don’t bite off more than you can chew. Trying to juggle eight projects is not only futile, it wastes valuable time and resources that can be spent excelling at one or two.

2. No delegation

Entrepreneurs and founders often believe that they are super heroes. Sometimes, they think that they alone are more equipped to handle a particular task. This is far from the truth ad even if it isn’t, delegating only helps train and develop employees while taking some of the work off of the CEO. This approach will enable founders to focus on other responsibilities such as strategizing.

3. Letting go of team members with unpopular opinions

This does not apply to team members who only see the negative side of things, rather this has to do with employees who dare to think differently from their colleagues or employer. Their aim is not to destroy the foundation of a company but to contribute innovatively to a business. As a CEO, it’s important to spot the distinction. Entrepreneurs and founders should always surround themselves with individuals that will speak up even when their perspective is  unpopular. In fact, diversity of thought makes for growth; it’s needed to scale the business.

4. Not Sharing Company’s Vision With Team

As an entrepreneur/founder, ensure to share your company’s vision with your team. This way, they see the bigger picture and the ultimate goal. Team members will be motivated to do their work and have a sense of sharing in the company’s success.

5. Neglecting Self-Development

Leading a business or company comes with continuous self-development. Acquire and build up on skills that will boost your capacity to take on the challenges of running a successful venture. It is very important for business owners to seek knowledge and make themselves better.
