Kate Morgan: Leadership vs. Entrepreneurship

Kate Morgan is an EO Boston member and founder of Boston Human Capital Partners

“In my perspective, there is leadership and then there is entrepreneurship. Leadership illustrates the ability to see the goal and make it to the end. It utilizes heavy left-sided brain functioning to move from point A to B. Entrepreneurship represents fleshing out an idea, based on one part creativity, one part execution, and the remainder sheer guts. My mind leans right. That creative piece of the brain helped me envision athriving consulting firm in a space that was not formerly pursued. Imagining a new service and bringing it to fruition has—at times—felt like a freefall. EO helps me stay grounded when I need it; in short, it is the proverbial wind behind my ideas when I seek to hoist them up.

“Like most entrepreneurs, I am not a person that you would see as vulnerable, but we all have underbellies. Some days, things go well. Other times, we’re riddled with unplanned roadblocks. It is critical to our development to find peers that can help us foster our personal and professional growth. My forum has served as my safe haven for just that. Participants encompass a wide range of businesses, but they share many commonalities. They are my sounding board, and they fuel my own desire to be better.”
