Professor of Management Practice
Entrepreneurs face many challenges, and often the only way to grow a business is for the person behind it to grow too. However, growth doesn’t always mean getting bigger. You can also get better, and there are many ways to achieve that. That is one of the many insights contained in the new book ‘Groeien als ondernemer: 36 inzichten voor blijvende impact’ (or ‘Growing as an entrepreneur: 36 insights to make a lasting impact’).
Professor of Entrepreneurship, Yannick Dillen, has put together a collection of achievable and inspiring life lessons based on conversations he has had over the years with entrepreneurs in Belgium and the Netherlands, resulting in this practical guide with a guaranteed return on investment.
Professor Yannick Dillen talks about his new book which is a collection of 36 achievable and inspiring insights to make a lasting impact as an entrepreneur.
Unlike many other management books on entrepreneurship, this book is not centred around a specific theme. The 36 insights each offer a different life lesson, be it on start-ups, mature companies or the role of the entrepreneur.
That is what makes the book relevant for any entrepreneur, however big or small the business and whatever phase the company is currently in. Even those who are thinking about taking the plunge into entrepreneurship, but don’t yet have a company, can learn a lot from these insights. In his book, Yannick Dillen aims to give future, new and more experienced entrepreneurs, directors and managers a range of crucial insights to turn them into better entrepreneurs with more of an impact.
