PREFACE
In management, it is often stated that you cannot spell SUCCESS without "U". The U Factor is predominantly important, especially in the entrepreneurial business environment, MSMEs and Startups in particular. The leadership shall not only have a strong passion to celebrate success, but also possess adequate awareness, knowledge and wisdom to integrate the environmental opportunities and organizational capabilities while navigating through the inherent and potential challenges.
My interaction with many MSME and Startup leadership revealed a shocking realization that majority of these organizations lack the U Factor effectiveness, which derails their journey towards success. This motivated me to bring out a text that fits to the context to empower the Startup and MSME Leadership to canvas their success story. Thus, Why Mentor Matters? A must-read handbook for MSME Entrepreneurs and Startup Leadership.
This short handbook portrays the unique enabling factor of having the Right Mentor for MSMEs and Startup organizations, whose astuteness and sapience intensify the efficiency and effectiveness of the enterprise to succeed and sustain. The book also throws light on the challenges faced by the MSMEs and Startups, and how mentor interventions help organizations in the mitigation and resilience process. One of the major challenges that the MSME Entrepreneurs and Startup Leadership face is identifying and aligning with the Right Mentor that suits their requirements. This dilemma has been addressed in this book, helping entrepreneurs to have clarity and direction while identifying and aligning with the Right Mentor. The discussions on Know Your Mentor (KYM) and Mentor Contribution Assessment & Review (MCAR) provides a simple configuration for the entrepreneurs to understand and review mentors' contribution to their enterprise and its resultant business impact.
The book Why Mentor Matters? A must-read handbook for MSME Entrepreneurs and Startup Leadership will serve as a reliable guide for Business owners, Entrepreneurs, Startup founders, Startup Aspirants and Academicians.
