I could never figure out where the so called term Entrepreneurship came from. If you did a survey asked a bunch of people the meaning of Entrepreneurship. I venture to guess that not even half of them would have even the slightest idea of what your talking about. I prefer the term starting a business or say I am going into business for myself. Or I am a small business owner. That way everybody would have a clear idea of what the heck your talking about. I think its time to do away with the term because its way to ambiguous a term to describe a business. I also find the term leadership to be another ambiguous term who's meaning could be very broad but this term Leadership has been around a lot longer than the term Enterpreneurship. Also the term leadership is somewhat less ambiguous than the term Enterpreneurship.

ReplyDeleteFor entrepreneurship, I like the book "Innovation and Entrepreneurship" by Peter F. Drucker very much.
For leadership, I lose track of what it can mean to different peoples. :-)
Stephen Covey's "8th habits" has appendix with a section which compared different statements of leadership vs management by different authors/gurus. Good read.
