A form of leadership known as challenge-driven is one that brings solutions at times of great upheaval. This form of leadership is not always pertinent but in particular useful at times when entrepreneurship or business innovation are required. It is a version which has been best adopted by MIT graduates. They tend to add enormous economic value besides their obvious contributions in science and technology. More than four and a half million people are employed in firms owned by MIT grads. Another key feature of this challenge-driven leadership is its anti-leadership frame of mind. This is a typical trait at MIT as people there seek to solve global problems rather than simply lead large profit-driven corporations as is often the case at say Harvard. Some of the other features of this style are deep expertise in one area, distaste for office politics, boredom with routine tasks, excessive analytical bent of mind, broad working knowledge and a preference for a spartan office space.
