Danna Greenberg, Kate McKone-Sweet and H. James Wilson
The New Entrepreneurial Leader
Developing Leaders Who Shape Social and Economic Opportunity
Berrett-Koehler, 2011
¿De qué se trata?
You can lead your business to create social, environmental and economic value.
Recommendation
The rules of business engagement have changed dramatically in recent years, and the traditional predictive model most business schools teach no longer suffices in the modern world. Babson College professors Danna Greenberg and Kate McKone-Sweet and researcher H. James Wilson present an anthology of academic papers that describe the college’s experience teaching hands-on “entrepreneurial leadership.” It also redefines the goal of business as reaching beyond profit to create social, environmental and economic value. This book of faculty papers from the Wellesley, Massachusetts, college offers an innovative, compelling model of leadership education, though like most anthologies it suffers from repetition and widely varying writing styles. Each chapter includes case studies and course descriptions from Babson, where students start and run businesses as part of their education. Although this collection may be a public relations bonanza for Babson, getAbstract recommends it because it shares enlightening insights about business education for professors, administrators, management students and today’s leaders. If you’ve finished your formal training, you can apply its principles in your present leadership capacity.
