Entrepreneurial Leadership

Course Description:

Entrepreneurial leadership is a special kind of leadership.  To start something from scratch, assemble a winning team, and tap into a market or create a brand new market is not at all the same as leading a well established organization.  Entrepreneurs are quintessentially different from risk-avoidant managers and bureaucrats.  Entrepreneurial leadership requires the unleashing of people's talents rather than limiting lower-ranked workers for the sake of hierarchical control  This is a course for students who have entrepreneurial bents and who want to learn to be leaders that draw out the creativity in others who can help build new entities.
