Abstract
Leadership is a field of study in management, but it remains elusive (Harrison, 2018). This further buttresses the need for further research in the area. Entrepreneurial leadership has been identified as the best leadership style for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) because it is suited to address the situational environment of SMEs. Scholars have researched entrepreneurial leadership; however, it has not been examined in Black Minority Ethnic (BME) SMEs in the UK. This study would examine leadership and small and medium enterprises independently and further explore the entrepreneurial leadership phenomenon. In this paper, entrepreneurial leadership is assessed from the small and medium enterprises context, and the most effective entrepreneurial competencies suitable for SMEs. The researcher aims to develop this study addressing entrepreneurial leadership from BME SME perspectives in the UK.
