    Motivation and Personal Competencies

    Empretec’s unique methodology, rooted in researches conducted in the late 1960s by David McClelland,
    psychologist at Harvard University, is based on the assumption that everyone has an inner motivation to
    improve. This “motive for action” is divided into three motivational categories: achievement, affiliation, and
    power.

    There are 10 Personal Entrepreneurial Competencies, which form the basis of the Empretec Training
    Workshop. These 10 competencies are:

     Opportunity-seeking and initiative


    Entrepreneurs seek opportunities and take the initiative to transform them into business
    situations.
     Persistence
    When most people tend to abandon an activity, successful entrepreneurs stick with it.
     Commitment
    Entrepreneurs keep their promises, no matter how great the personal sacrifice.
     Demand for efficiency and quality
    Entrepreneurs try to do something better, faster or cheaper.
     Taking calculated risks
    Taking calculated risks is one of the primary concepts in entrepreneurship.
     Goal setting
    This is the most important competency because none of the rest will function without it.
    Entrepreneurs set goals and objectives which are meaningful and challenging.
     Information seeking
    Entrepreneurs gather information about their clients, suppliers, technology and opportunities.
     Systematic planning and monitoring
    Systematic behaviour means acting in a logical way. Planning is deciding what to do. Monitoring
    means checking.
     Persuasion and networking
    Entrepreneurs influence other people to follow them or do something for them.
     Independence and self-confidence
    Entrepreneurs have a quiet self-assurance in their capability or potential to do something.
