Entrepreneurship & Leadership: The Power of Simplicity

We have noticed that many successful leaders around the world build large groups of follower by simplifying their message — making it so clear that anyone and everyone feels they own or are a part of that message.

One of the best examples we’ve used in our trainings is the powerful message of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.: “I Have a Dream!”

While this phrase is just four simple words, the message is complex. This may be why Dr. King was so successful in generating a huge following. Many leaders before him tried to garner great attention. He achieved it by simplifying the message — in stating “I Have a Dream,” he empowered millions of people to share his dream, to make that dream their own. The power of that message inspired people worldwide to carry on working towards the dream they heard, they believed, and they took on as their own.

“I Have a Dream,” four words that can inspire anyone, from a five-year-old to a 90-something. The power of leading includes allowing people to feel they are part owner of what you are doing.

In our experience working with entrepreneurs and leaders around the world, we see that many of the great leaders have also simplified their message so that anyone and everyone buying into the message feels they are a part owner of the movement, business, or direction.
