Talk:Leadership in Entrepreneurship

Ideas I'm not really sure one can be an entrepreneur without first being, or having the qualities of, a leader. In order to be an entrepreneur, in my opinion, requires much initiative, adversity, risk, and skill. Being able to manage these things are something a leader and entrepreneur both have to do to be successful. Furthermore, a "follower" (as I understand the term) is not someone who is willing to take the initiative on tasks and would not have the qualities or even the thought of being an entrepreneur. These are just my general thoughts, an entrepreneur must have leadership qualities and probably past leadership experiences in order to be a successful entrepreneur, or to even consider being one.

For the project that we have, I was thinking we could start broad and go narrow for our topic. First we could define what Leadership and Entrepreneurship are and then bring the concepts together with an over arching definition of what Leadership in Entrepreneurship looks like. When we set up the definition we can then focus on the importance of why Leadership is a key aspect in Entrepreneurship. As we move on into the project we can use examples of businesses to help support our claim.

Charles Update: I wrote a bit in there, but it may be too specific for where we are right now. Might have to move it down more as we get more information. I think we should be the types of power down as well, and turn that into leadership styles (like from power into styles). The two go hand in hand in my mind. Let me know your thoughts! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chuckosper (talk • contribs) 15:15, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

It's fairly hard, if not impossible, to make out how this "definition" adds in any way to what is already said in leadership. The only original additions are of a speculative, hazy and subjective sort. -- Kku 12:12, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

Support - I actually think that this article is largely original research and the most appropriate course of action is deletion. But a merge would probably be fine too (I don't think much content would be retained in the end). Cheers and thanks for putting your hand up to do the work Andrew (talk) 12:06, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

As this hasn't gone anywhere in more than 3 years, I've boldy suggested an alternative destination that I think is more appropriate: to Entrepreneurship. This seems a more fitting location, perhaps under the Entrepreneurial behaviours heading. Klbrain (talk) 15:35, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
