Entrepreneurial Leadership - Purpose Driven Change

Entrepreneurial Leadership

Do you feel that your feet are planted on shaky ground? That despite all the training and experience you have acquired over the years, nothing seems to be aligned with the pace of change and expectations of leaders today.

Well you aren’t alone. As other business schools call it — we are in the midst of the 4th Industrial Revolution.

And that’s why you’re having to make more decisions than ever before, grapple over ever changing strategy and deal with ever increasing expectations of the work force. The world outside has simply changed.

Rapid new innovations, digital transformation, massive cultural shifts and globalisation are now the norm.

Why does this matter?

Because the pace of change and expectations of leaders today is vastly different to the first industrial revolution, yet leadership training has barely changed.

Now, leaders are in a position of playing catchup and that’s where we come in.

We know that to thrive in this new reality, organisations need leaders that can foster and drive purposeful change at all levels—and they need them now; from top executives to first-time managers, and everyone in between.

They need leaders and managers that can ride the wave of disruption, foster engaged, vibrant and innovative teams, execute strategy as a moving game and challenge conventional wisdom to take their organisations to new heights or risk disappearing into obscurity.

These leaders have become known as entrepreneurial leaders, and they are the most highly sought after leaders today.

Entrepreneurial Leadership – Can you answer yes to all the following?

Do you, as a leader, release and drive ‘value creation’ through both internal and external opportunity seeking?

Does your strategic plan and annual plan foster entrepreneurial thinking, rather than act as a strategic handcuff?

Is your company a leader, rather than a follower, in the creation of customer driven products or services?

Do you, as a leader, demonstrate passion, purpose and courage linked to the creation of great products, services and culture?

Do you, as a leader, drive purposeful change and challenge conventional wisdom in the pursuit of engaged, vibrant and innovative teams?

Do you, as a leader, have a relentless focus on developing your business acumen and operating ‘as if’ you are a business owner?

Becoming Entrepreneurial

Entrepreneurial leaders create value because their drive and energy is focused on identifying, capturing and developing internal and/or external ‘opportunities’ – often doing and seeing things that other have missed. They are driven, creative, resourceful and inventive, within the limitations and constraints imposed by their business environment.

It is easy to fall victim to the rules and processes imposed on the organisation both internally and externally and to allow them to inhibit true growth, rather than challenge their value.

Entrepreneurial Leadership develops the skills, capabilities and mindsets that allow the leader, their team and organisation to pursue opportunity driven and purposeful change that creates business value.

The Entrepreneurial Leader leads with the knowledge of how to create, lead and drive for a better future. 

“Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.” Steve Jobs
