15. Global Entrepreneural Leadership - Stanford University The purpose of this course is to provide university students with a capstone course in how to design organizations, networks, and environments that nurture entrepreneurship, leadership, and innovation. The primary benefit to us is that we will receive hands-on practice with the habits of successful entrepreneurs and innovative leaders. We will learn that we must think the unthinkable, to do the impossible. We will also learn how, through the modeling of others who have done it successfully in different countries and cultures. The course is given in cooperation with Stanford University
