Overview of class
This course will integrate current research on leadership and personality science within the context of entrepreneurialism. We will review current models of personality and leadership and extend this work to entrepreneurial leadership to better understand the characteristics and mechanisms underlying the ability of successful entrepreneurs to disrupt, innovate, and transform. In this course, we will define entrepreneurial leadership and examine aspects of personality that promote effective entrepreneurial leadership as well as those aspects that derail it. The full context of leadership personality will incorporate research on personality traits, motivations, identity, culture, the personality of teams, and the personality of companies. Assignments will include a series of self-assessments that encourage students to apply content from the course to their own leadership style, and personality-based analyses of successful founders.
