Pre-founding entrepreneurial teams often struggle with simultaneous task and team challenges. The way in which teams shape their teamwork is key in leveraging performance at an early stage of the new venture. Kristin Knipfer, Emanuel Schreiner, Ellen Schmid und Claudia Peus examined charismatic team leadership as a catalyst of team learning, shaping team and individual performance of nascent entrepreneurial teams. This newly published article highlights the relevance of team learning in pre-founding teams and emphasizes leadership in moving new ventures forward.
