What can leaders, entrepreneurs learn from each other?
Many colleges offer programs in leadership, whether for liberal arts undergraduates or prospective college administrators. Meanwhile across campus, the business school offers a course on entrepreneurship. Do leaders and entrepreneurs practice two separate sets of skills, or are they essentially the same?
Dr. Tammy Moerer is director and primary faculty member of the master's program in organizational leadership at the College of Saint Mary in Omaha NE. With a PhD in higher education leadership, she also owns and operates a marketing and public relations company.

Dr. Margareta Smith Knopik chairs the business and technology department at the University of Montana-Western in Dillon, where she teaches business development and management. Her research focuses on rural entrepreneurship and planning.
What could they learn from each other to teach leaders and entrepreneurs more effectively? They led a session on "Leaders and Entrepreneurs: Learning from One to Teach the Other" at the University of Nebraska's conference on Women in Educational Leadership held in Lincoln in October.
"We started this paper thinking entrepreneurship and leadership would be so similar we could just translate it to the classroom," Moerer said. After reviewing 30 years of research on both fields with a focus on women, they found it's far more complicated than that.
