On Friday 13th of October the first copy of our book ‘Ondernemen in Zorg en Welzijn’ [Entrepeneurship in Healthcare and Welfare] has been handed over to the editors Lilian Beijer and Roelof Ettema. Together with Marian Adriaansen I wrote a chapter on ‘Entrepreneurship as a competence, also in complex contexts’. I contributed particularly to the second part of the sentence: entrepeneurship in complex contexts.
I based the chapter on the Medusa principles I already told about several times in these posts. Medusa shows how leadership can facilitate emergence of novelty/innovation. Leadership can Enable, share needs, dream, interact, be context sensitive and adapt.
The book is enriched with videos, examples and take home messages. Unfortunately, at the moment it is only available in Dutch. We hope the book will inspire Dutch professionals and will invite them to deepen their knowledge of the dynamics of entrepreneurship in Healthcare and Welfare.
