| Abstract | While many business schools may want their graduates to pursue social, environmental and economic opportunity, few schools are in fact developing leaders who have the skills, knowledge, and passion to do so. The reasons for this shortcoming have been highlighted by both educators and practitioners. On the one hand, this problem is rooted in how they are teaching future leaders to think. Social and economic opportunities are often created in unknowable situations where past approaches are not relevant. To pursue these opportunities, management students need to know how to use creativity, experimentation, and action. Beyond how to think, business schools have been narrowly focused on what they teach students to think about. Too often management education has overemphasized shareholder value creation and underemphasized ethics and social and environmental value creation. Leaders need to know how to connect to their values and passions if they are to create social and economic opportunities. Through grounded research across diverse academic disciplines and with more than 1,500 companies, the authors have concluded that business schools need to be focused on educating a different type of leader. Entrepreneurial leadership, this new approach, is characterized by individuals who engage a different way of thinking based on a different worldview of business. Entrepreneurial leaders are needed to build startup ventures, to introduce new products and processes in established organizations, to tackle complex social problems in nonprofits, and to create social and political change in the government and NGOs. The authors discuss three practices of entrepreneurial leadership (relying on self-awareness and social awareness, employing cognitive ambidexterity, and attending to social, environmental, and economic value creation opportunity) and offer some ideas on how to educate entrepreneurial leaders.
