W ENTREPRENEURS
Oriented to find their success Future from A12 are open to feedback, are goal oriented, seek to be unique and strive for accomplishments based on their own efforts— important to effective leadership. 3. Screening for Opportunity: Leaders screen incoming information to seek new growth opportunities. They act like gold miners pouring through tons to find a few precious nuggets. 4. Locus of Control: The literature tells us that successful leaders and entrepreneurs typically show a “high internal locus of control.” 5. Goal Orientation: This is an important one and one which I am constantly aware in my research and readings about entrepreneurs. Those ventures that last always share a common factor— a relentless drive to accomplish their goals. They embrace and understand what the priorities are and continue to work at it—day in and day out. (Sound familiar folks?) 6. Optimism: Underlying successful entrepreneurial leadership is a boundless
font of optimism. When faced with any problem or issue, they view it as a challenge. A setback, is viewed as a new direction; when told no, they say “ maybe, not now.” 7. Courage: Sure entrepreneurs are risk takers as all small business owners but it does take a great deal of courage to build an organization, a new venture, a team from the ground up because at those moments in time of decision, one is often alone. 8. Strong Internal Motivation: The emotion that drives our behaviour dear readers, comes from two sources—internal (intrinsic) and external (extrinsic). Intrinsic includes needs, desires, motives and will power. Extrinsic details such things as rewards and punishments. For entrepreneurs and their leaders, the most important motivational factor is the intrinsic. Entrepreneurs keep going in spite of criticism, failures, setbacks, etc. The “ fire inside “makes it all real and worthwhile for entrepreneurial leadership. eagleyoung@shaw.ca
