Managers manipulate what is, things and information to produce a result that is clearly specifiable in advance. Entrepreneurs try to create what isn’t by a lot of guesswork, improvisation and learning from mistakes. (Mitch McCrimmon)
ENTREPRENEURIAL FUNCTIONS
Organisational learning; Knowledge leadership; Creative ‘resourcing’; Providing flexible structures; Innovation; Visioning; Teamwork; Stimulating diversity.
ENTREPRENEURIAL CULTURE AND VALUES... PROGRESSIVE MANAGERS/LEADERS NEED TO...
Provide an atmosphere that promotes continual experimentation. Tolerate loose organisational structures and behaviour. Willingly hand over decision making to those with expertise in their field. Help risk takers and encourage those who fail as much as they celebrate those who win. See networking as more important than traditional lines of authority. Promote multi directional communication that crosses all responsibility levels. Allow leadership to change as situation demands in line with expertise required at any point. Easily change direction in response to market, technological or political influences. Constantly interact with customers, suppliers, and colleagues, in fact the total environment. Seek feedback from all experiences and sources and be highly responsive to new conditions/situations.
IS YOUR ORGANIZATION READY FOR A FUTURE IN THE MODERN BUSINESS CLIMATE WHERE WE ALL (IF THE PUNDITS ARE RIGHT), NEED TO BE MORE ENTREPRENEURIAL?
