  1. Thanks for sharing. Leadership is the 8th and final factor in our 8FACTORS framework and we believe one of the most important aspects in running a successful business of ANY size. Often times good leadership is overlooked in favor of more tangible factors such as cash flow or stock price, but its value to an organization (and particularly a small business) is invaluable and should be something that all small business owners consider in both hard times and even in good times.
