Incorporate what you learned from Lesson 6 as well as the related readings from your textbooks including: Chapter 7 (http://open.lib.umn.edu/exploringbusiness/part/chapter-7-recruiting-motivating-and-keeping-quality-employees/) and Chapter 8 (http://open.lib.umn.edu/exploringbusiness/part/chapter-8-teamwork-and-communications/) in Exploring Business; and Chapter 12 (https://saylordotorg.github.io/text_small-business-management-in-the-21st-century/s16-people-and-organization.html) in Small Business Management in the 21st Century. From Lesson 6: Effective entrepreneurial leaders can motivate and inspire. They can create a community from a disparate group of strangers. Success of the venture depends largely on whether leadership can develop a vision and convince internal stakeholders to adhere to this vision. Employee buy-in is necessary and effective entrepreneurial managers can develop this by making sure every employee has a clear understanding of their role in the business. The effect entrepreneurial leadership has on their employees can be significant, especially for a small business. Effective leaders know this and employ various managerial styles to achieve the best effect on personnel. The following six leadership styles were determined by a study of over 4,000 managers (Murray 2010). Visionary leaders motivate employees to work for a vision. Coaching leaders foster a relationship with employees based on trust. Affiliative leaders create harmony within the organization based on emotional bonds. Democratic leaders develop buy-in through participation. Pacesetting leaders set challenging goals and expect excellence. Commanding leaders demand immediate compliance. Murray, Alan.
