ENTR Entrepreneurship Exam 1 Practice

A project champion driving the effort describes an opportunist. In this model, leadership and momentum come from one or a few individuals who spot opportunities and push the venture forward, gathering resources and support as needed and adapting as conditions change. This reflects an agile, opportunity-driven approach where success hinges on the champion’s initiative and ability to mobilize others, rather than on formal sponsorship, strict processes, or preservation of the existing business.

By contrast, an advocate would rely more on formal backing and sponsorship to push the venture; a producer focuses on efficiently executing within established processes; a custodian emphasizes maintaining and protecting the current core business.
