Joining
the Entrepreneurial Elite: Four Styles to Business Success, by Olaf
Isachsen, 1996, Consulting Psychologists Press; ISBN:
0891060901 - Hardcover
Isachsen
describes four distinct entrepreneurial styles; Administrators,
who enjoy the responsibility of taking an organization into the
future; Tacticians, who are the risk takers, easily excited by spur-of-the-moment
opportunities; Idealists, who are those driven most by the delivery
of a product or service of lasting value rather than the desire
for money; and Strategists, who are most intrigued by meeting the
challenge of the unknown. By capitalizing on your strengths and
partnering with people who complement them, you minimize your risk
of failure. Complements the Personal Traits Inventory very nicely.
