Principles of Management

Leadership, Entrepreneurship, and Strategy

Key Takeaway

The principles of management are drawn from three specific areas­ – leadership, entrepreneurship, and strategic management. You learned that leadership helps you understand who helps lead the organization forward and what the critical characteristics of good leadership might be. Entrepreneurs are fanatical about identifying opportunities and solving problems­ – for any organization, entrepreneurship answers big questions about "what" an organization's purpose might be. Finally, as you've already learned, strategic management aims to make sure that the right choices are made­ – specifically, that a good strategy is in place­ – to exploit those big opportunities.
