Peter Drucker once said there are only two jobs for an entrepreneur - Marketing and Innovation. All other are execution and operational.
I think it is perfect! I didn't see any other contributions that entrepreneurs ever made! Larry Ellison is happy developing products, marketing and letting the execution parts to someone else. Bill Gates is happy being Chief Software Architect and no one knows marketing better than him. Narayana Murthy is as happy as ever being a chief mentor. Google founders are happy that their company is being run by Eric Schmidt. Hardly anyone actually even knows the name of Google founders.Biggest quality of entrepreneurs may be that they are happy in innovating and marketing; letting other people run operations.
Well, I don't have much of empirical data on this, but wherever I see, there is a strong evidence for what Mr. Drucker says. After all, it is Peter Drucker and no one has any questions about that.
