The key competencies of a business leader

Un leader doit être une personne aux compétences multidisciplinaires pour atteindre un niveau respectable de performance commerciale. En effet, le monde de l’entreprise est en constante évolution et l’entrepreneuriat d’aujourd’hui nécessite de nouvelles compétences en plus des compétences traditionnelles (gestion, connaissances juridiques…). Nous bloguons pour les entreprises depuis longtemps et nous pouvons résumer ces compétences comme suit :

  1. Les compétences en comptabilité sont essentielles pour tout propriétaire d’entreprise afin de surveiller la situation de son entreprise et de prendre des décisions critiques.
  2. La gestion est également un domaine dans lequel l’entrepreneur doit maîtriser les fondamentaux puisqu’il est appelé à gérer des ressources humaines et à définir une stratégie pour atteindre un ensemble d’objectifs.
  3. La connaissance de la spécificité de chaque statut juridique et de son impact sur la fiscalité de l’entreprise est essentielle pour un dirigeant d’entreprise.
  4. Savoir élaborer une stratégie commerciale en établissant des objectifs chiffrés à atteindre (part de marché à atteindre, chiffre d’affaires estimé, etc.) ou au moins en préparer les grandes lignes pour ses collaborateurs.
  5. Avoir des connaissances sur les nouvelles technologies est incontournable car l’entrepreneuriat d’aujourd’hui repose largement sur ces outils.
