Leadership

5 ways a peer group makes you a better leader

Enhances your emotional intelligence

Emotional intelligence is crucial for good leadership. It raises your empathy, so you’re able to interact and manage your team much more effectively. A sound emotional intelligence also helps you understand yourself better—your strengths and weaknesses—which can only lead to greater success.

Makes you accountable

Without someone else to be accountable to, too often our resolutions falter. At an Evolve peer group, you’ll set goals, establish new habits and look at aspects of yourself that can be improved upon—then you’ll take full responsibility for those actions by regularly reporting your progress to your fellow peers.

Learn from others triumphs and mistakes

Evolve peers have been there and done that, sometimes many times over! And whether you’re only a few years into your business journey, or been at it for decades, you’ve had your successes and challenges, you’ve made great decisions and you’ve also made mistakes. By sharing these experiences with others, and hearing your peers’ stories, you gain invaluable insight into what it means to be a business leader, and can often avoid common stumbling blocks along the way.

Enhances your wellbeing

Wellbeing is essential for any great leader. Whether it’s having more control over stress and learning to quieten your thoughts, or eating more healthily and leading a more balanced lifestyle, having your body and mind in harmony gives you energy and provides you with reserves of calm and resilience, which you certainly need when running your own business!

Surrounds you with like-minded people

There are some things only entrepreneurs and business leaders understand, whether it’s the delight of landing a deal or the worry when you’re going through a rough patch. These experience and emotions can sometimes leave you feeling isolated and lonely and can even deplete your will to lead. At an Evolve peer group, you’re among friends. Anything you talk about remains confidential and falls on the ears of people who know exactly what you’re going through. This can only inspire you to become a happier, calmer and more driven leader.
