I’m currently reading for my MBA through Henley Business School, and tackling a module called Strategic Direction.

Reading through my core textbook Strategic Management, Awareness and Change I came across a great set of skills and attributes that are typically exhibited by entrepreneurial strategic leaders:

• A tolerance of calculated risks
• A combination of leadership, general management and financial skills
• Planning, time and project management skills
• Receptiveness to innovation
• A commitment to continuous learning
• A willingness to delegate
• Motivated by factors other than financial gain
• Self-confident, resilient and persevering
• Good communication skills

I wish I had seen this before completing our KPA docs at work – I think the list makes a great framework for a set of attitudes, skills and behaviours that every manager in the online space should aspire to.
