The Foundations of Entrepreneurial Leadership Course explores entrepreneurial leadership (EL) as a relational, adaptive process distinct from traditional leadership. The course covers how entrepreneurial leadership fosters innovation, collaboration, and empowerment by leveraging autonomy, relatedness, and competence. It uses the EL model at Babson, which emphasizes emotional and social competence, self-awareness, empathy, and the importance of intrinsic motivation.
