Today, the development of countries is based on creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship. Achieving this goal is facilitated by entrepreneurial leadership. One of the areas of interest for researchers is the need of today's organizations for entrepreneurial leadership in such changing and unstable economic conditions. Entrepreneurial leadership is a style of leadership in which the leader emphasizes the group's performance in achieving organizational goals, which includes discovering and exploiting entrepreneurial opportunities. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to identify and explain the dimensions and components of entrepreneurial leadership in order to present a model. In this research, a qualitative method based on the Grounded Theory approach has been used. The statistical sample of this study includes 14 members of the board of directors and senior managers of Saipa Automotive Group who have been purposefully selected as a group of experts and data collection has been done using semi-structured interviews with these people. Data were analyzed through open, axial, and selective coding, and in the form of 355 codes, 72 concepts, 13 sub-categories, and 5 main categories were classified. Finally, the entrepreneurial leadership model has been designed and presented by identifying and introducing 13 components and 5 dimensions, including Guidance (goal orientation, inspiration, and role modeling), Facilitation (perceptual ability, communication ability, and empowerment), Supporting (developing commitment, motivation and emotional intelligence), Coaching (team orientation and participation), and Entrepreneurship factor (professionalism and entrepreneurial ability).
