Are you a business ‘leader’?

Clear Vision • December 17, 2015

If you are a manager or owner of a business you might think of yourself as a business leader.  But a true leader displays some key characteristics that go beyond simply holding a position of authority.

An article from the Qld Government business portal provides a simple summary of the character traits of a true business leader:

  • self-awareness – understanding your own strengths and weaknesses
  • decisiveness – the ability to make decisions quickly
  • fairness – treating others equally
  • enthusiasm – motivating a team with a positive attitude
  • integrity – earning the respect of your team
  • knowledge – keeping abreast of the facts and figures
  • creativity and imagination – coming up with new and innovative ideas
  • endurance – persevering when things go wrong.

Clear Vision takes an active part in helping it’s clients be better business leaders.  We provide the knowledge and facts and figures you need to make decisive business decisions.  We can also provide an outside point of view to help bring innovation and new ideas to your business.

And most of all, we’re here to help you persevere when times are tough and you need someone to lean on.

12% Superannuation Guarantee - 1 July 2025

By Caroline Gillies • June 22, 2025
From 1 July 2025, the Superannuation Guarantee (SG) rate in Australia will increase to 12%. This means employers will be legally required to contribute at least 12% of an eligible employee's ordinary time earnings to their superannuation fund. This increase is the final step in a legislated rise from 9.5% in 2021 to 12% by 2025, aimed at boosting retirement savings for Australian workers. If you use Xero for payroll, the SG rate should automatically update in the system. However, we recommend you double-check your payroll settings to ensure everything is correct. If you’re unsure or need assistance, please contact your bookkeeper or get in touch with us at: Clear Vision Accountancy Group (07) 4688 2500 We’re here to help you stay compliant and avoid any costly errors.
