Entrepreneurial Leadership

About this Learning for Leaders

Imagine the best leader you know...

Everyone has one: someone who was motivating, collaborative, and kept the team moving toward a common goal. Perhaps this person had the authority of being a traditional leader, a boss or coach, for example, or a peer who stepped up during an important project and thrived despite uncertainty and ambiguity.

Chances are, part of what made this person so effective was that they were an entrepreneurial leader.

When faced with the unknown, the best entrepreneurial leaders are good at experimenting, learning, and innovating. Compare this skillset to a more traditional “analyse, then act” leadership approach, and the difference is clear. A conventional leader might be great at assembling a puzzle when the picture is laid out to copy, while an entrepreneurial leader can dive in with no picture at all and start putting the pieces together.

Like entrepreneurs, these leaders are made, not born. It’s a muscle that can be developed with time and practice. Budding entrepreneurial leaders share a handful of common characteristics:

- Want to solve problems collaboratively
- Value action and are outcomes-oriented
- Believe that things can be better, and that they can make an impact

Today more than ever before, these leaders are needed in all sectors.
