The Entrepreneurial Leader's Impact on the Organization's Performance in Dynamic Markets

Abstract

The focus of this research is to examine similarities and differences between the fields of leadership and entrepreneurship and create a working definition of the “entrepreneurial leader.” As knowledge and information become the new sources of power in today's dynamic markets, organizations must cultivate a new form of entrepreneurial leader that can maximize their companies' capabilities. The entrepreneurial leader lends his or her vision, leadership style, and strategy to the very essence or core of the business. This individual is a major independent variable influencing the outcome and success of the business.
