Entrepreneurial Mindset and Leadership


Discipline and passion is the bridge between what we dream and what we accomplish.

Entrepreneurial Mindset and Leadership

The ability to 'think like an entrepreneur' and 'act like an innovator' are critical skills for success across industries and are proven tools to help distinguish you in the workplace and to accelerate your career. The entrepreneurial process isn't only for start-ups, it's a comprehensive mindset that will teach you to identify, assess, shape, and act on opportunities in a variety of contexts, settings and organizations.

The entrepreneurial mindset is about a certain way of thinking -- it is about the way in which you approach challenges and mistakes. It is about an inherent need to improve your skill set and to try and try again.

But why is this important?
The entrepreneurial mindset is what you need to propel yourself forward. This mindset can dim as you get entrenched in the daily grind of entrepreneurship. But by making an effort to embody this mindset, you position yourself to meet everyday challenges and experience growth.

Much of the entrepreneurial mindset involves a steadfast commitment to a very narrow vision. This drive allows entrepreneurs to carry out the necessary steps to accomplish that vision. The problem is that the demands of the day can get in your way, creating a space where your vision recedes. This leaves room for frustration and doubt, which can lead to stagnation or worse.

As an entrepreneur, you will naturally face new challenges every day. Just because obstacles arise doesn't mean you should be afraid of making mistakes. If you want to cultivate an entrepreneurial mindset, you have to embrace challenges. You have to seek them out.

It all comes down to basic psychology. The more that you put yourself in challenging situations, the more you will find that you not only equip yourself with the skills to handle those very challenges but also the confidence of knowing that you were able to succeed. So, make an effort to put yourself in challenging situations every single day -- even in your personal life. And don't be afraid of making mistakes.

Entrepreneurial mindset and leadership

Much of the entrepreneurial life is about trial and error and mistakes are a natural byproduct of that. But more than this, mistakes are an opportunity for growth. Extract all of the value from them that you can. Building a business is hard and most fail. But that's not the point. The point is that in the trying, students develop skills that pay handsome dividends long into their careers . The justification is in the experience, not in the outcome.

In our workshops, we focus on the below areas:
1. Leadership and entrepreneurial skills needed to develop and implement social innovation initiatives, including strategic focus, engaging stakeholders, key measurements, and driving innovation to bring your organization to the next level.
2. A toolkit of key concepts, competencies, and practices that will enable you to lead with your entrepreneurial mindset. Operational skills in risk management and common challenges related to starting a new business, and how to launch successfully.
3. Specific behaviors for developing - and using - an entrepreneurial leadership mindset to motivate, mobilize and influence others as a positive change-maker in an organization.

Our premise is that learning the entrepreneurial mindset is a critically valuable 21st century skill. Those who learn it well will have outsized success in their careers no matter what they choose to do because by definition they become resourceful and adaptable.

Like any new endeavor, working with a coach can be challenging and even a little scary. But if you're brave, committed and curious, you'll find your coaching relationship can be a powerful catalyst to becoming the person you most want to be.
