Abstract
This paper analyzes two entrepreneurs and their leadership styles, in which their primary goal is to produce a product and make a profit. The first analysis with include the leadership style of an entrepreneur whose primary goal is to produce a product and make a profit. The second analysis will include the leadership style of a second entrepreneur whose primary goal or leadership style is to run a more social responsible business where they are in business to first make a positive impact on society and secondly make a profit only after exceeding the wants and needs of the society, not themselves.
I will then determine the approach that best fits my leadership role. I will explain what certain characteristics I identify most with, and explain why I most identify with those entrepreneur characteristics and why.
I will finally find or determine 3 resources or tools that are available to entrepreneurs through SCORE and the Small Business Administration, and which would be the most useful for the type of business and approach I identified the most with, and explain my reasoning.
