The habitual Entrepreneur

The habitual Entrepreneur


Rita Gunther McGrath, associate professor at Columbia University Graduate School of Business, and Ian MacMillan, the Fred Sullivan Professor of Entrepreneurship at the Wharton School of Business, University of Pennsylvania, are authors of The Entrepreneurial Mindset: Strategies for Continuously Creating Opportunity in an Age of Uncertainty. Using the term "habitual entrepreneur," they suggest five common characteristics:

Entrepreneurs ...

passionately seek out new opportunities

pursue opportunities with enormous discipline

pursue only the very best opportunities and avoid exhausting themselves and their

organizations by chasing after every option

focus on execution — specifically, adaptive execution

engage the energies of everyone in their domain

Do you fall in this category?

Are you a habitual entrepreneur?
