Hello. My name is
Dr. Rosemary Fisher,
and I'm a senior lecturer at
Swinburne University
of Technology
in Melbourne, Australia.
I research and teach in
entrepreneurship and in
innovative pedagogies.
Today, we're going to unpack
the comprehensive
framework that explains
the entrepreneurial
mindset developed by
academic entrepreneur Emeritus
Professor Murray Gillin.

Throughout a long and
distinguished career,
Gillin has had a particular
focus on facilitating
the education of current
and future entrepreneurs.
His research into the
explanatory value of this model
forms a strong evidence
base for its usefulness.

Gillin's work seeks
to encapsulate
the importance of
the whole being;
integration of intellectual,
emotional and spiritual
intelligence to
the expressed behavior
of the entrepreneur
who is committed to
making it happen.
It's this holistic approach
that sets Gillin's model apart
from more narrowly focused
conceptualisations
of the entrepreneurial mindset.
Gillin distinguishes his
model from other models of
the entrepreneurial mindset
by describing it as
the personal
entrepreneur mindset.

At the core of
Gillin's framework are
three intelligences that form
the foundation of the
entrepreneurial mindset.

Rational intelligence refers to
the individual's ability
to solve problems,
to create strategies and
use logic and reasoning.
This analytical thinking
is often associated with
academic and professional
success in fields like
mathematics, science, law,
and business strategy.

Emotional intelligence
is about how well
we relate to and understand
both ourselves and others.
It's the emotional
intelligence that allows us
to navigate social
situations, to build trust
and to collaborate effectively.
Daniel Goleman is
a leading emotional
intelligence theorist,
and he identifies four key
dimensions that prize EQ.
The first is self-awareness.
This is the ability to
recognise one's own emotions,
to understand the causes
of those emotions,
and to understand how they
impact your own behavior and
your own decision-making.
Self-management refers
to the capacity to
regulate and control one's
emotional responses.
It enables an individual to
channel their emotions
in productive ways.
Social awareness
is the ability to
recognize and understand
the emotions of others,
demonstrating empathy and
considering diverse
perspectives,
while relationship
management speaks to
the skills required to
effectively communicate,
inspire, and navigate
interpersonal dynamics
to resolve conflicts and build
those strong connections.
Emotional intelligence
is accepted as
a critical component of
leadership effectiveness,
interpersonal success and, of
course, overall well-being.
Individuals with higher levels
of emotional intelligence
tend to have better
decision-making abilities,
stronger social skills and
an enhanced capacity for
adaptability and resilience.
