Entrepreneurial leaders know no limits. They’re not constrained by the organizations they serve, the titles they hold, nor the problems they encounter as they work to find solutions and create new possibilities. 

“One can be an entrepreneurial leader from any position in the organization,” says Professor Danna Greenberg, chair of the Management Division at Babson College. 

Babson College has launched its first podcast focused on entrepreneurial leadership, “From Problems to Possibilities: Entrepreneurial Leadership in Action.” The first three episodes now are available on Apple, Spotify, and Amazon. Each episode of the podcast focuses on how entrepreneurial leaders are solving some of the world’s biggest challenges—from women’s health care to sustainability in business to mental health—with the unique skills and leadership that the world needs today.
