How can todays baby-boomer leaders evoke more entrepreneurialism out of the younger generation, their successors?
Cashman: Entrepreneurialism is one of the most difficult qualities of leadership to foster.

The key to encouraging entrepreneurialism out of tentative talent is to find a project or function that deeply resonates with successors. Start with a task that means more to the successor than their average work task in order to energize the behavior your organization needs.
