Abstract
In his blunt and engaging manner, visionary entrepreneur Dwight Carlson has insightful and provocative things to say about leadership, communication and team development, and motivation. We argue that Carlson is an “entrepreneurial leader” who has learned how to create an environment that fosters innovation, hard work, a sense of fun, and “team spirit” and which results in highly motivated and productive staff. At the same time, we recognize that not all entrepreneurs necessarily share Carlson's “bravado.” Nevertheless, his example as founder and CEO of several high‐tech start‐up companies sheds light on the unique contours of entrepreneurial human resource leadership. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
