Visionary Leader vs. Hands-On Manager While both roles are essential in organizations, they have distinct approaches to leadership: 📌Visionary Leader: 📍Focuses on the big picture and long-term goals. 📍Inspires and motivates teams to achieve shared objectives. 📍It is often more strategic and innovative. 📍May delegate tasks to empower others. 📌Hands-On Manager: 📍Is involved in day-to-day operations and tasks. 📍Ensures tasks are completed efficiently and effectively. 📍Is more focused on short-term goals and deadlines. 📍May be more direct and controlling in their approach. The ideal leadership style often depends on the specific needs of the organization and the team. In some cases, a combination of both visionary and hands-on leadership can be most effective.

Missed the Webinar? Don’t worry, the "Structural Barriers to Small Business Success" webinar recording is out now! Entrepreneurship is often seen as a path to equal opportunity, but entrepreneurs of color still face significant obstacles that limit their success. In our recent webinar, experts from Small Business Majority and ICIC, along with the support of the RWJF, introduced a powerful new interactive data tool that sheds light on these inequities. This tool allows users to dive deep into business ecosystems in the 100 largest metropolitan areas across the U.S., revealing how business presence and revenue differ based on the race of business owners and the racial makeup of neighborhoods. It provides an in-depth look at key factors like industry type, revenue, and employment size. 🎥 Watch the full webinar recording to see lead researchers Miles Chandler and Devon Yee demonstrate the tool. Hear from experts like David Payton of Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses, Brian Pifer of Small Business Majority, and Elizabeth (Betsey) Suchanic of NGIN as they discuss the practical applications of the tool, which enables users to: ➡️ Map Inequities: Visualize barriers at the neighborhood level so resources can be deployed where needed most. ➡️ Strategize for Growth: Use data to refine outreach, identify growth opportunities, and develop targeted business strategies. ➡️ Advocate for Policy Change: Equip yourself with data to drive equitable business support and community development.
