What makes employees in an entrepreneurial firm seem to advance in their career much quicker than corporate employees? When a structured management is relatively benign it can inhabit independent thinking by maintaining familiar relationships, allowing some to settle into comfort zone.

Everyone else obeys orders, whereas in entrepreneurial firm you learn by doing argued Mr Fairtlough, FT (2005).
