Is an entrepreneur a leader and what does leadership in business mean? What traits should we develop in order to manage and inspire others?  In Module 5, you will learn about the role of a leader and decision making.

In the theoretical part, Dr Maria Czajkowska-Białkowska has prepared a lot of information about leadership for you.

You will learn how the approach to leadership has changed over the years and what factors influenced it. How do you effectively motivate and engage employees? What leadership style works best when working with the younger generation? What activities of the boss translate into the organisation effectiveness? You will find the answers in the video.

This time the meeting with a practitioner will take a slightly different form. Instead of an interview, you will watch the material prepared by Sławomir Lachowski – the founder of the WealthSeed platform and the creator of the first internet bank in Poland. Find out what his view on leadership is.

Business does not always have to start with a jump in at the deep end. One option to test your business idea without making too many commitments is unregistered business.

Daria Pierkova, who runs the Slon Ballon store together with her husband, has chosen this path. The story of the shop with balloons for every occasion is waiting for you in the video below.

Project examples can be found on Instagram @slon_ballon. You can also visit the store at Piotrkowska 38 in Lodz.

We are staying with the Slon Ballon brand. An expert commentary by Dr Monika Fabińska from the Department of Entrepreneurship and Industrial Policy at the Faculty of Management, University of Lodz will help you combine business experience and the context of entrepreneurship studies.

Being in charge of yourself, even though undoubtedly pleasant, can be hardly called leadership. Therefore, before you become a true leader, you need a team. In this module, Dr Agata Matuszewska-Kubicz will encourage you to think over and construct your first offer for your future colleagues. The file with the exercise is waiting for you below the video.
