Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
The New Entrepreneurial Leader
Danna Greenberg · 2011
74/100
👍 Worth It
Coming from two years of faculty research at the world's top-ranked entrepreneurship school, this book earns genuine credibility — the cognitive ambidexterity framework is practically useful, and the social and environmental value creation argument was ahead of its time in 2011. It's written primarily for management educators rather than practitioners, which limits how actionable it feels for general business readers, but for MBAs and faculty it's a serious contribution.
