The entrepreneurial spirit
The entrepreneurial spirit is one of those characteristics in work and life that you can't teach - they form from within and over time, they become part of who we are.
It develops in the individuals who demonstrate a true passion for building something great from nothing as they are willing to push themselves to the limits to achieve big goals.

The 5 Essential Qualities of a Great Leader
Clarity
Great leaders are clear and concise at all times. They understand their vision and what needs to be accomplished.
This gives others the opportunity to digest their goals and decide whether or...
Decisiveness
Great leaders don't hesitate to commit and rarely back out or change their minds unless it is necessary.
Courage
Boldness is something you can develop.
Although some people are naturally more fearless than others, practicing how to be fearless--or at least project fearlessness--is a completely doable task.

5 Ways to Think Like an Entrepreneur in Your Career
Entrepreneurial zeal
A little entrepreneurial zeal can give you a distinct advantage in your professional life, whether or not you think you’d ever strike out on our own.
How to train your corporate mind
- Get Passionate. This is the key to career success and fulfillment in any field.
- Be Bothered by Inefficiency. Consider whether there are places you could implement solutions (or at least recommend improvements).
- Take on More Risk. “More risk, more reward.” At work, start small by pitching new ideas or volunteering to take on a challenge or two that’s outside of your comfort zone.
- Brainstorm More. Constant innovation is crucial to a business’ long-term success. Schedule some time each week to really brainstorm about something that’s been on your mind. See what you come up with.
- Don’t Limit Your Dreams. Many people are conditioned to be realistic and practical. Rather dream big for your career.

How Do You Build a Culture of Healthy Debate?
How to shift a culture
It’s far easier to hire for traits you need than to try to transform a person who doesn’t have...
Better at challenging assumptions
Some people ask more questions, have more doubts, and are willing to act on them. They are harder to manage since they naturally challenge authority, but if you want assumptions challenged that includes the assumption of hierarchy.
If healthy debate is encouraged the results will be the best synthesis of different assumptions.
It takes great confidence
If you as the manager continually demonstrate that you are comfortable being challenged, or yielding your idea to a superior one suggested by a colleague or subordinate, everyone who works for you will emulate that behavior.
If you dismiss challenges or yell at people who challenge you, the culture of fear your behavior creates will dominate no matter who you hire or how great you proclaim it is to challenge assumptions.
