Although truly entrepreneurial leaders are rare, they can be found in all kinds of enterprise settings. Look for them within small, medium, and large organizations, in nonprofits, in government, in startups, and beyond. They are the managers who are always questioning the status quo. They have a burning desire to explore opportunities, to change, and to create.

According to Professor Andrew Corbett, in times of crisis and uncertainty, the ability for each of us to think and operate like an entrepreneur is more essential than ever. Entrepreneurial leaders succeed by adeptly navigating this kind of unpredictability and productively channeling disruption into opportunity.
