“…This convergence has led to the development of a new paradigm known as "Entrepreneurial Leadership" (Kuratko, 2007). Across this emerging paradigm, the concept of Entrepreneurial Leadership has been explored across several contexts (Carpenter, 2012;Currie et al, 2008;D'Intino et al, 2008;Hansson and Mønsted, 2008;Harrison et al, 2016a;Kansikas et al, 2012;Leitch et al, 2009;Leitch et al, 2012;Mapunda, 2007;Santora et al, 1999). However, there has been little scholarship which has examined the concept from the perspective of a developing economy (Chen, 2007;Harrison et al, 2016a;Hejazi et al, 2012).…”

Purpose-The purpose of this paper is to examine entrepreneurial leadership and to determine the entrepreneurial leadership skills which are important for success in a developing economy environment. Specifically, the focus of this research was on entrepreneurial leadership within the retail pharmacy sector in Nigeria. Design/methodology/approach-This study was guided by an interpretivist-constructionist perspective. By adopting a qualitative approach, the lived experiences of the retail pharmacy entrepreneurs could be understood. 51 semi-structured interviews were the mode of data collection, and data was triangulated via three sources: entrepreneurs, employees, and literature. Findings-From the study results, a vivid picture of entrepreneurial leadership was formed, which in turn provides the basis for an empirical skill-based model of this phenomenon in a developing economy. This study identifies four distinct entrepreneurial leadership skill categories. These include technical/business skills, interpersonal skills, conceptual skills and entrepreneurial skills. The findings of this study also show the factors and conditions necessary for entrepreneurial leadership in a developing economy. Originality/value-The findings of this study have implications in theory and practice. Its results provide an empirical, skill-based framework on entrepreneurial leadership in a developing economy, a subject area for which there exists a lack of background literature. In practice, the findings of this study serve as a useful reference for practitioners and policy makers of the skills and other factors required for people to succeed as entrepreneurial leaders.

“…In line with that, leadership is remarkable as the main factor in enhancing the organizational performance and successfully meets the objectives. It can be understood that there is a strong link between leadership styles and high organizational performance (Santora et al, 1999;Venkataraman, 1997). Further studies suggested that effective leadership behaviors can facilitate the improvement of performance when organizations face these new challenges (McGrath & MacMillan, 2000;Teece, Pisano & Shuen, (1997).…”

“…At the wholesale business-to-business level, ongoing challenges of retaining competent personnel, improving product innovation and quality, and increased competition present a constant threat of decreasing returns, and possible destruction and/or erosion of organizational core competencies. This threat, as some scholars and practitioners suggest, only serves to highlight the importance of securing strong leadership within the organization (Collins, 2001;Santora, Seaton, & Sarros, 1999). What is not clear, however, is the potential influence of such moderating effects as age, experience, tenure, and educational background.…”

Abstract. The present study builds on extant leadership literature by examining the role demographic variables (including age, tenure as a leader at the current company, experience in the industry, and level of education) play as moderating effects on the relationship between leadership style and small business financial performance in the national distribution wholesale industry. Financial data, leadership data, and demographic data were collected from 100 small, industrial distribution organizations. Statistical regression models were used to examine the relationship between the independent variables (transformational and transactional leadership styles) and dependent variables (year-over-year sales and profit margin performance), as well as the potential moderating effect of demographic variables (age, tenure, education, experience). The findings showed that transformational leadership was positively associated with the financial performance of an industrial distribution firm. It was also shown that the demographic characteristics examined did not moderate the relationship between leadership and firm performance.
