Discover your Entrepreneur Leadership Style

Starting something new often requires gifting in each of these areas, but knowing your strengths makes all the difference.

The Improviser: Limited resources and constantly changing environments are common in entrepreneurship. Improvisers love taking what they have and making something great out of it.

The Visionary: Visionaries aren’t distracted by the challenges or limitations of the present, but what is possible, strategically about the future.

The Innovator: Innovators are typically driven by a vision to disrupt or innovate, creating solutions that haven’t existed before by challenging the status quo.

The Builder: Builders look at what others are doing, analyze it, and find ways to apply what they learn to their situation.

The Maverick: Mavericks value independence and thrive on the freedom to make decisions, set their own goals, and forge their path.

The Team Builder: Team Builders are motivated by a deep connection with others, often finding purpose in contributing to communal goals.

The Risk-Taker: Risk-takers believe the greatest risk is a missed opportunity, and thus try to dive into as many opportunities as they can, knowing they can figure it out along the way.

The Scientist: Scientists experiment and iterate, holding off on making commitments to projects or ideas until they have been properly tested.
