Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Make a lasting impact by launching new initiatives, inspiring others, and championing innovative approaches with this from-the-trenches guide by trusted executive mentor, entrepreneur, and leadership expert Joel Peterson. Many leaders see their roles as presidents/managers, with a primary focus on keeping results consistent with past performance and on budget. These kinds of leaders make important contributions but rarely leave a mark on the businesses they serve. For those wanting to make a lasting impact, new skills are required. Joel Peterson calls these higher-level leaders “entrepreneurial leaders,” and they create durable enterprises that deliver on their promise. After three careers and demanding roles as CFO, CEO, chairman, lead director, adjunct professor, founder, author, entrepreneur and investor, Joel Peterson is often sought as a mentor and coach by leaders and aspiring leaders. He has worked with all types of leaders and considers the entrepreneurial leader to be the highest level of influence. In Entrepreneurial Leadership, Peterson lays out a path to achieving this summit with a series of leadership maps organized around the four essential basecamps: Establishing Trust Creating a Sense of Mission Building a Cohesive Team Executing and Delivering Results These core philosophies, while easy to summarize, can be extremely difficult to implement. This book of maps and mindsets is aimed at those who hope to lead others, help them achieve their best, break new barriers, change the status quo, create a legacy, develop a brand, and enjoy a life-altering experience. Let Entrepreneurial Leadership guide you on your journey.

Download or read book Burn the Business Plan written by Carl J. Schramm and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-01-16 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Business startup advice from the former president of the Ewing Marion Kaufmann Foundation and cofounder of Global Entrepreneurship Week and StartUp America, this “thoughtful study of ‘how businesses really start, grow, and prosper’...dispels quite a few business myths along the way” (Publishers Weekly). Carl Schramm, the man described by The Economist as “The Evangelist of Entrepreneurship,” has written a myth-busting guide packed with tools and techniques to help you get your big idea off the ground. Schramm believes that entrepreneurship has been misrepresented by the media, business books, university programs, and MBA courses. For example, despite the emphasis on the business plan in most business schools, some of the most successful companies in history—Apple, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, and hundreds of others—achieved success before they ever had a business plan. Burn the Business Plan punctures the myth of the cool, tech-savvy twenty-something entrepreneur with nothing to lose and venture capital to burn. In fact most people who start businesses are juggling careers and mortgages just like you. The average entrepreneur is actually thirty-nine years old, and the success rate of entrepreneurs over forty is five times higher than that of those under age thirty. Entrepreneurs who come out of the corporate world often have discovered a need for a product or service and have valuable contacts to help them get started. Filled with stories of successful entrepreneurs who drew on real-life experience rather than academic coursework, Burn the Business Plan is the guide to starting and running a business that will actually work for the rest of us.

As I have encountered these quotes over the years, I have found they have a unique ability to educate, enlighten and inspire. Whether spoken more than 200 years ago by the founding fathers of our country or by the political and business leaders of today, these quotes are memorable both in their power to persuade and because of their crisp, succinct nature. I hope they resonate in your life as much as they have in mine.
Download or read book Entrepreneurial Leadership written by Angelo Mastrangelo and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2015-11-12 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Real-life examples from the author's experience illuminate a step-by-step plan that can help entrepreneurial leaders achieve their goals. Entrepreneurial leaders are in need of a practical compass, and this book gives them just that. Combining principles of leadership and entrepreneurship, the guide covers basic concepts and pertinent issues for leaders at all levels and does so in a manner that is at once lively, relevant, and entertaining. Drawing on the best thinking from both business and academia, the book irrefutably demonstrates the connection between skilled leadership and organizational effectiveness and performance. Readers are provided with two easy-to-follow models that are applicable to all types of organizations. The Opportunity Model (Part I) shows exactly how to identify business-generating opportunities, while the Enduring Leadership Model (Part II) outlines the author's unique leadership principles, what he calls "Personal" and "Professional" Leadership. Used together, these two models give today's entrepreneurial leaders the real-life tools they need to succeed. To illustrate what works—and what doesn't—the author takes readers inside the highly volatile beverage industry and shares his greatest successes and failures running Adirondack Beverages, a company that still thrives today based on principles instilled more than 20 years ago.

Download or read book Entrepreneurship Professionalism Leadership written by Moon‐Ho Ringo Ho and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-06-11 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book updates the theory and brings together empirical research based on the multidimensional entrepreneurship–professionalism–leadership (EPL) framework for subjective career ‘space’. It also discusses the extension of the original ‘person-centred’ framework to other levels of analysis, for example, ways of considering the EPL (human capital) capacities of an organisation, city, or even nation. By providing insights into the development of EPL motivations and efficacies over time, the book helps readers appreciate the application of the EPL framework in a wider range of contexts, such as research–innovation–enterprise, healthcare, and pre‐university settings. It also shows how EPL research contributes to a better understanding of leadership and entrepreneurial development.
Download or read book The Effective Executive written by Peter Drucker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-09 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The measure of the executive, Peter Drucker reminds us, is the ability to 'get the right things done'. Usually this involves doing what other people have overlooked, as well as avoiding what is unproductive. He identifies five talents as essential to effectiveness, and these can be learned; in fact, they must be learned just as scales must be mastered by every piano student regardless of his natural gifts. Intelligence, imagination and knowledge may all be wasted in an executive job without the acquired habits of mind that convert these into results. One of the talents is the management of time. Another is choosing what to contribute to the particular organization. A third is knowing where and how to apply your strength to best effect. Fourth is setting up the right priorities. And all of them must be knitted together by effective decision-making. How these can be developed forms the main body of the book. The author ranges widely through the annals of business and government to demonstrate the distinctive skill of the executive. He turns familiar experience upside down to see it in new perspective. The book is full of surprises, with its fresh insights into old and seemingly trite situations.

Download or read book Competing on Thought Leadership written by Robert Buday and published by Ideapress Publishing. This book was released on 2022-01-11 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An essential guide to the engine that drives the early adoption of disruptive innovations." --Geoffrey Moore, Author, Crossing the Chasm and Zone to Win HOW COMPANIES CAN VAULT AHEAD BY DEVELOPING, MARKETING, AND DELIVERING SUPERIOR EXPERTISE "Thought leadership" is now a core part of the business lexicon. Numerous corporate websites devote whole sections to it. Entire conferences are built around it (TED and the World Economic Forum as the most exclusive ones). It's at the center of sophisticated, high-ticket PR campaigns. Thousands of people are making careers of it. And companies from Fidelity Investments, Adobe and Cigna to PwC, Accenture and Spotify have people in charge of it. Interest in the field of thought leadership is white hot -- just like the buzz created by illustrious thought leaders when they bring groundbreaking ideas to market. So it's about time the topic of thought leadership itself got a substantive treatment. In Competing on Thought Leadership, Robert Buday boldly delivers it. He defines thought leadership concretely: as the acclaim that a firm or a person earns for developing, marketing and delivering superior expertise in solving complex customer problems. And he defines it broadly -- as a business strategy, not just a marketing strategy. Buday also brings to bear his client work and research since the 1980s in helping companies and individuals inside them become known worldwide as leading experts in their field, which in turn has increased their revenue and profit multifold. This book focuses on how businesses that sell services and products to other businesses can thrive on thought leadership. It takes the lessons learned at some of the best firms in the world at selling expertise - consulting, accounting, law, financial services and technology firms - and makes them practical for every B2B firm. Yet the principles of Competing on Thought Leadership apply to all organizations - for-profit and non-profit alike -- that must demonstrate superior expertise in solving complex problems. Consumer companies, charitable foundations and other organizations, too, can benefit greatly from adopting these best practices in thought leadership.

Download or read book Entrepreneurial Leadership written by Harald Meier and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2022-08-17 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Start-ups und Unternehmensgründungen ebenso wie Projekt- oder Innovationsmanagement brauchen gleichermaßen neben dem einschlägigen Fachwissen und -erfahrungen Leadership-Skills als Erweiterung klassischer Managementanforderungen. Während diese prozessorientiert konkrete Ziele der strategischen oder operativen Planung umsetzen und optimieren, legt Leadership wie Entrepreneurship den Fokus auf Vision mit entsprechender Motivation zur Gründung oder Veränderung. Nahezu alle Unternehmen, ob groß oder klein, etabliert oder als Geschäftsidee und Start-up bewegen sich in einem zunehmend digitalisierten und dynamischen Umfeld. Die bedeutet für alle immer mehr projektorientierte und agile Arbeitsformen. Und dabei verschwimmen auch die klassischen Funktionsaufteilung von Führungs- und Fachkraft oder Manager und Moderator - parallel oder im häufigeren Rollenwechsel - in der Unternehmens- und Organisationsentwicklung als Change Management sowie Teamentwicklung und -moderation bzw. Design Thinking. So umfassen Entrepreneurship, Leadership und Human Resources mehr als nur Gründung, Mitarbeiterführung und Personalmanagement - auch wenn sie fälschlich oft als Synonyme genutzt werden. Entrepreneurial Leadership muss so das Spagat zwischen Vision und Veränderungsbereitschaft und Managementverantwortung und Prozesseffizienz vorleben. Das Buch richtet sich gleichermaßen an Studierende jeder Fachrichtung mit dem Ziel leitender und projektbasierter Arbeit sowie an Praktiker und auch Entrepreneure in allen Branchen in der Privatwirtschaft sowie auch im öffentlichen oder NGO-Sektor und dem sich immer mehr entwickelnden Social Business.
