Tiphani Montgomery, is the CEO and founder of Kingdom Entrepreneur University (KEU), a faith-based educational platform that trains entrepreneurs to build dynamic brands and businesses. Since 2015, Tiphani Montgomery has successfully trained over 4000 entrepreneurs. She believes entrepreneurs need to do the following four things to be influential leaders.

Listen

Being a good listener is essential because employees need to feel heard and valued. If you open the channels of communication and listen to your employee’s ideas, they are more likely to be engaged in their work and help boost your business’s morale.

Pivot

Businesses often need to pivot to stay relevant or to grow. As a leader, it’s essential to know when and how to shift focus and effort. Using your marketing research data will help you make sound decisions.

Be Decisive and Confident

To earn both your employees and clients' trust, you need to be decisive. Decisive leaders convey confidence and communicate clearly. They also admit when they’ve made a mistake to quickly get things back on track.

Be Transparent

Transparent business leaders cultivate healthy workplaces. Employees perform at higher levels and are more willing to work as a team when they trust you. Also, a leader’s honesty facilitates quicker problem-solving. If you openly share a problem, your employees can pool their resources to help solve it.
