While it is widely presumed that entrepreneurs need business competencies like sector analysis, negotiating skills and resource management, other competencies such as self and interpersonal skills -leadership are often unnoticed. Yet such competencies play an imperative role in entrepreneurship - really, they are a prerequisite for putting them to work in the various contexts in which entrepreneurship takes place and marshalling the other capabilities.
The authors discredit the idea of the entrepreneur as a natural-born genius with one-of-a-kind gifts. Instead, they propose a correct framework for classifying entrepreneurial competences, which they say can be learned and developed through particular techniques and customs.
