From the Paper:

"The challenge of any leader of an entrepreneurial venture is that the effort takes an exceptionally effective vision, the defining of a framework that can scale as a business grows while also staying true to the basic values and strengths of transformational leadership (Darling, Leffel, 2010). As Webber (Bass, 1999), Drucker (1985) and Kouzes (1999) have all observed from their research and studies, exceptional entrepreneurial leaders have strong emotional intelligence (EI) that provides insights into which leadership skill set is best to use in any given situation. This can include the transactional leadership styles so critical for getting short-term work done to the transformational leadership styles that typify exceptional achievement in organizations that passionately pursue an objective. EI as a component of transformational leadership is the unique attribute that provides leaders with the ability to interpret situations, invest themselves into them in the service of their subordinates, and get exceptional results (Darling, Leffel, 2010). It is the ability of an entrepreneur to create a culture where people can excel quickly to their own personal goals while pursuing the corporate or shared ones of the start-up, in effect unite autonomy, mastery and purpose into a single contagious strategy over time (Darling, Leffel, 2010)."
