I teach entrepreneurs how to turn their ideas into more successful enterprises. After having been the successful CEO of a major semiconductor company (International Rectifier), and started an important information company (iSuppli) from scratch, I now teach at Princeton as a part of my personal mission to help others succeed as entrepreneurs. So many capable and driven people fail as entrepreneurs--needlessly. My work now focuses on the tools and training that can best help entrepreneurs at any phase increase their chances of success. From stumbling badly to succeeding at world-class levels, I can tell you that the bottom line is this: ● Founders, focus on the leadership requirement.
