Global Franchise Magazine Vol.6 No.6 Back Issue

Leadership is arguably one of the most evergreen, vital skills that we can possess. Particularly when it comes to running a business; you can have all the capital in the world, a plethora of hardworking partners, and the perfect location for your store. But without the right mentality and skillset to steer the ship, even
seasoned entrepreneurs can run afoul of unforeseen
challenges and roadblocks. Sometimes, being a great leader means understanding the wants and needs of your network,
and being able to deliver on those when required. Other times, it can mean training those within your team to become leaders themselves; empowering individuals to eventually take over the legacy that you’ve built with a brand.
In this issue of Global Franchise, we’re celebrating
all things leadership. From page 24, we’ve put
together a comprehensive 2022 preview to prepare
even the savviest business leaders for the roads
ahead. You can never be too prepared, so make sure
to check out our nine tips from franchise experts
around the world to ensure that you start the new
year off on the right foot.
We also speak with three franchise leaders as
