This sounds counterintuitive to entrepreneurship because startups and new businesses are characterised by creativity and change. However, once a business identifies its sources of revenue, change is not easy. Any change comes at a cost and Fabian Entrepreneurs are afraid that these changes might cost them revenue or loss of market share.

The purpose of a leader is to provide direction, think of the future, and provide a vision for the organisation or a team. On the other hand, the manager's job most often is to optimise the resources available to achieve the overall vision as desired. Usually, the managerial focus is on efficiency whereas effectiveness is a leadership question.
