Leadership skills are critical in the value creation process of successfully bringing a new venture to life. You will examine the relationship between entrepreneurship, value creation and the entrepreneurial leader’s role in driving innovation and growth.

You will explore and discuss issues such as judgment of when to use hard versus soft leadership techniques; building a culture of effective, ethical and empowered leaders across ventures, spin offs or existing businesses; developing a shared purpose, company values and vision that inform recruiting, developing and rewarding leadership, as well as being able to identify potential negative issues that occur in different roles within an entrepreneurial team.
