I ll quickly go through the definition of the entrepreneur.Entrepreneur is an enterprising individual who builds capital through risk and/or initiative.And Entrepreneurship is the act of being an entrepreneur or one who undertakes innovations, finance and business acumen in an effort to transform innovations into economic goods". This may result in new organizations or may be part of revitalizing mature organizations in response to a perceived opportunity. The most obvious form of entrepreneurship is that of starting new businesses(referred as Startup Company); however, in recent years, the term has been extended to include social and political forms of entrepreneurial activity
Like the two sides of a coin. Entrepreneurship has a positive as well as a negative side .We all know the advantages of Entrepreneurship but today we are going to explore the negative side of the entrepreneurship. Many entrepreneurs have personality traits and behaviors that allow them to succeed in their businesses; however, these same traits can often prove detrimental in their roles as managers or co-workers. This is the dark side of entrepreneurship.
The author describes the characteristics by an example
Inability to work for others :- Thompson being an entrepreneur himself wouldn’t be comfortable working as an employee. WHY? Because entrepreneurs are the one who are decision makers and like to keep a control over organisation. It would be very difficult for him if he is getting controlled by someone else.Difficult Employee :- The entrepreneurial skills of an entrepreneur makes it unmanageable for a Entrepreneur to work as an employee. For Example :- He might not take the suggestions or orders from other people.Disagreements can lead to Conflicts :- When Entrepreneurs are kept under a subordinate position there are chances of disagreements which can lead to conflicts.
The desire to control rather then getting controlled :- Larry failed in his jobs because he couldn’t take the dominance of others over him. As given in the example he left his first job because fight with the department head over the issue of displaying the merchandise.Most of the Entrepreneurs do not work well under others. As they like to keep authority in their hands of assigning work to others. 3. In this case the inability to accept the rules and the consistent administration approval needed for evethingforced Larry to became an Entrepreneur.
EffectsOffering the deference needed of a subordinate is difficult. Obsessive concern with detail, for example, can stifle an organization, inhibit managers, and prevent accountability. They can be poor collaborators.In this entrepreneur’s situation, although his subordinates admired many of his qualities, they deeply resented being infantilized.
