Think Like an Entrepreneur

As entrepreneur, author and MIT Professor Bill Aulet has said, “Entrepreneurship is much, much bigger than just startups … We need entrepreneurs everywhere.”

From small companies to large, from non-profits to government, the world needs leaders who know how to think like entrepreneurs. When conditions are challenging, entrepreneurially-minded individuals see the potential. When problems arise, they seek solutions. And when setbacks occur, they are resilient.
