“The Entrepreneurial Mindset Advantage is a timely guide to navigating this era of rapid innovation and unlocking human potential in organizations.” —Jaime Casap, former Chief Education Evangelist, Google “In a field crowded with ‘how to’ advice for entrepreneurs, it is difficult for any author to stand out. But Gary Schoeniger more than passes this test. Schoeniger gets inside the heads of successful entrepreneurs, and fortunately for any reader, especially would-be entrepreneurs, he provides tons of useful advice.” —Robert E. Litan, PhD, former Vice President of Research, Kauffman Foundation “Gary Schoeniger’s new book is an important contribution to the literature on entrepreneurship. He clearly defines an entrepreneurial mindset as the development of dispositions that everyone can benefit from in a rapidly changing world.” —Tony Wagner, EdD, Author, Learning by Heart, and Senior Research Fellow, Learning Policy Institute “This book equips all of us—especially those of us who focus on building entrepreneurial ecosystems—with powerful tools for cultivating entrepreneurial mindsets in ourselves and others.” —Jonathan Ortmans, President, Global Entrepreneurship Network “Read this book and join the ranks of visionary leaders who said yes when life seemed to be saying no.” —Matthew T. Lee, PhD, Professor, Baylor University, and Director, Flourishing Network at the Human Flourishing Program, Harvard University “Finally, there is a ‘how to’ manual for communities and practitioners for unleashing everyone's hidden entrepreneurial potential.
