“Entrepreneurial talent is in great demand,” agree both government officials and business executives. Successful entrepreneurs bring innovation to life by implementing creative ideas. Talented entrepreneurs thus are important players in the economic success and prosperity of any country. In spite of a great societal demand on and importance of entrepreneurial talents, nobody trains us on how to discover and develop them in ourselves and how to manage them inside and outside organizations. Entrepreneurial talent is not about a business plan or a venture capital for financing a start-up. Entrepreneurial talent is something significantly more fundamental.
