Online Masterclass: Entrepreneurial Leadership
On Thursday, 27 January 2022 (3 - 4pm (CET)), Stephanie Jones, Associate Professor of Organizational Behavior at MSM, and Martin Tynan, VP Human Resources at Cloudera (Palo Alto), will conduct the online masterclass Entrepreneurial Leadership.
About the online masterclass
"Entrepreneurial Leadership" - both are key topics in any management degree program – and we look at their interconnection. The role and value of the leadership team in the process of a start-up company’s transition to a scaled-up business is essential – but is often overlooked by investors and commentators. Only a tiny proportion of new business ideas make it to the big time. Why so few? It has a lot to do with the competencies and behaviors of the founders and subsequently hired managers - which can set the company on its growth trajectory and can influence every decision made throughout the business (and ultimately every other topic covered in a management degree).
Which leadership competencies and behaviors make the difference? According to Stephanie Jones and Martin Tynan – in their new book published last month – there are seven key areas for leaders to work on. These can be seen as leadership “muscles” – which can be developed and exercised through “workouts” – just like going to the gym and getting fit.
Based on their research, entrepreneurial leaders face the need to let go of autonomy to make the transition from founder-led to agile leadership; to anticipate the future, from the here and now; to shift their focus from the outside world of customers and projects to the inside world of setting up organizational processes; to transition from a lack of role clarity to role definition; to cope with risk, from a single point of failure to systemic risk; to achieve ongoing culture change; and to keep building that growth mindset to be sustainable.
In this masterclass, Stephanie and Martin give a brief definition of these essential entrepreneurial leadership “muscles” and how you can develop and build them, highlighting many recent examples of entrepreneurial leaders and their teams who have created new businesses which are now shaping the future.
In the process, we explore those magic ingredients which can transform a business in the back bedroom to a stock-market star – which are maybe not so magic after all!
