Everyone agrees that effective leadership is critical to building a successful entrepreneurial venture. However, great leaders come in many shapes and sizes, from the young start-up founder who innovates late at night wired on Red Bull to the highly seasoned professional manager who can scale a business and orchestrate the big exit.

Please join the Caltech/MIT Enterprise Forum for a special program that explores common traits and key differences among various distinguished entrepreneurial leaders. As a noted academic on leadership, our opening speaker will introduce various models of effective leadership. This context will serve to frame a lively discussion among our panel of notable entrepreneurial leaders who will share their experiences and views on leadership. Come prepared to understand the diversity of leadership styles so you can better evaluate your own approach to leadership. 

Program is at the CalTech campus and is $40 in advance or $50 at the door.  Click here for more information or to RSVP.
