Because, organizational leaders from successful companies understand that corporate employees who think and act like entrepreneurs are more motivated, more innovative and more accountable... they take greater financial responsibility and build stronger customer relationships at every level every day...both inside and outside the organization. In fact, these individuals demonstrate, through their visible observable actions, that they use their discretionary effort, as opposed to effort coerced through a command and control management approach. Entrepreneur's possess many skills and abilities, each one providing a solid foundation for the next. What distinguishes a successful entrepreneur from those who are less than successful are characteristics such as: Vision: A compelling view of a future yet to be. Mission: One's Place in this compelling view of the future. Leadership: The visible observable behavior that makes one want to follow or emulate another. Communication: Interactive communication, listening and feedback which leads to understanding. Competency: Core capabilities, skills, knowledge, and experience focused on one's mission. Organization: An articulate plan and structure which defines roles and responsibilities. Involvement: Commitment to shared ideals and purpose which encourage ownership and synergy. Empowerment: An environment of mutual trust/respect which builds responsibility and authority. Goals: Specific measurable targets that one is attempting to reach within a given timeframe. Results: The attainment of specific tasks and the recognition of goal success. Entrepreneurial skills equip individuals to bridge the gaps between empowerment thinking and empowerment doing, between innovative fact and creative fantasy, between delegation and performance leadership. Corporate employees who learn to apply entrepreneurial skills to their role within the organization, recognize that they have the ability to... exercise greater self-confidence in decision-making communicate more effectively at every level accept and take more reasonable risks develop and strengthen a sense of urgency and heightened awareness practice "customer responsiveness" instead of "customer reaction" replace delegating with performance leadership motivate more productive teamwork Remember: You can purchase training and development programs on-line electronically, by fax, phone, email or regular mail.
