I. ESSENTIAL IDEAS

Are entrepreneurs born or made?

This question has long been debated with little agreement. However, as cited by Longenecker,
J.G., et.al. (2016), Stephen Spinelli and Robert Adams described entrepreneurs as having and
exhibiting “desirable and acquirable attitudes and behaviors” such as commitment and determination,
leadership, opportunity obsession, risk-takers, motivation to excel, creativity, self-reliance, and
adaptability. According to (www.ideasforleaders.com),competencies such as risk seeking,
assertiveness and vision are considered typical of a successful entrepreneur. But these are innate
predispositions or aspects of temperament; by using them as yardstick, itis wrongly concluded that
only certain types of people make good entrepreneurs or are capable of worthwhile innovations.
Is there such a thing as a ‘natural-born entrepreneur’?
Accordingly, there is not. Specific techniques and habits must be practiced and developed by
all would-be entrepreneurs. Aside from business competencies, entrepreneurs need interpersonal
and self-leadership skills too; however, these are often overlooked. Entrepreneurial behavior‟ can be
learned and developed (www.ideasforleaders.com).
The question is not who entrepreneurs are, but what they do, and more important than
business skills can be other competencies that provide a foundation for those business skills
(www.ideasforleaders.com).
 Furthermore, according to www.ideasforleaders.com, there are three levels of
competencies, which all entrepreneurs need:
1. Personal competencies – These are your abilities to ground yourself so that
you are secure and self-assured in whatever situation you may find yourself
(www.free-management-ebooks.com).
Ex. creativity, determination, integrity, self-criticism.
2. Interpersonal competencies – These are your ability to lead, influence,
communicate, supervise, negotiate, and control people at all levels. It is the
ability to get along with people and motivate people to perform jobs.
Entrepreneurs must effectively manage people (baseread.com).
Ex. communication, engagement, delegation

3. Business competencies – These are set of particular abilities and knowledge

that sets a company apart from its competitors (yourbusiness.azcentral.com). It
also refers to the key characteristics that successful entrepreneurs should have
in order to be successful (www.mustangbols.com).
Ex. business vision, financial management, networking
Core vs. Common Competencies in Entrepreneurship
Competencies in entrepreneurship play a leading role in making entrepreneurs successful
(baseread.com).
Entrepreneurial competencies facilitate opportunity recognition, help adapt
rapidly to changes, enhances business performance, strengthen the firm‟s competitive
position and stir the achievement of organizational success. It is the sum total of the
personality, skills and knowledge that the entrepreneur possesses, which are
necessary to effectively perform their functions and responsibilities (Edralin, D. M.,
2016).
Competence is an underlying personal characteristic which leads to superior
performance. It is a combination of knowledge, skills, attitudes, and motives
(baseread.com).
Core competence is the foundation for sharpening a company's competitive edge and it guides brand
reputation, business growth, and marketing strategy
(www.thebalancesmb.com).

Common competence is one that describes the knowledge, skills and abilities found in most or all
position (www.ifpm.nifc.gov).
