Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Leadership is one of those skills that most people believe they have, but very few actually do, and that's unfortunate because effective leadership is critical to being a successful entrepreneur. If you want to grow your company beyond a one-person operation, you need the ability to effectively lead a team. The larger your team grows, the more effective your leadership skills need to be because you're further from the front lines. I've been fortunate enough to have experienced a wide range of leadership styles throughout my career. Some served as powerful examples to model, while others served as examples to avoid. But I learned something important from every single one of them. And without question, one of the most effective leaders I've had the opportunity to meet is Marine Corps General Anthony Henderson . I first met him while I was serving in the Marine Corps when he took command...

Captain Peter Ryan, left, in a solar panel field at CFB Gagetown, in New Brunswick, on Nov. 29, 2022. Chris Donovan/Tausi Insider A distant boom echoes through the crisp, cool air in Gagetown, N.B., a noise typical at this Canadian military base, the second-largest in the country. Down one of the 1,500 kilometres of gravel roads that criss-cross the massive site is an unassuming rectangular building, dark against the trees that surround it. To one side, close to 1,000 solar panels drink energy from the sun. This is the Department of National Defence’s (DND) first net-zero building. It’s connected to no utilities. It’s heated via geothermal energy. Water is collected from an underground well and cisterns on the roof, and purified on site. Waste water is treated here, too. The 375-kilowatt solar farm easily powers the building – the Canadian Forces School of Military Engineering’s explosives and ordnance disposal facility, where much of the training for combat engineers takes place.
