There’s no cookie-cutter definition of “entrepreneurs.” They’re a broad class of men and women, young and old, from a variety of educational backgrounds and a wide spectrum of economic circumstances.
But for all of their differences, they share some traits that are impossible to ignore. They’re visionaries. They’re people of passion. They have the ambition, drive and talent needed to take an idea and use it to either disrupt legacy markets or define new ones.
As the undisputed leader in advising, guiding and recognizing entrepreneurs, EY has a unique perspective on what defines a stand-out business leader. These are the qualities we’ve come across time and time again through our work with some of the world’s most innovative thinkers:
- Vision. Entrepreneurs create or improve a business concept and implement it effectively.
- Leadership. They demonstrate a focus and strength of character that enable them to move forward – and inspire a team to do the same — despite skeptics and obstacles.
- Achievement. Entrepreneurs drive business growth by not only perfecting existing ideas, but by enabling continuous innovation that generates new ones.
- Social responsibility. They know that their commitment and responsibility aren’t confined to business, and they leverage energy and resources to give back to the community.
Tell me: what traits do you think define stand-out entrepreneurs?
