When entrepreneurship is mentioned, the sense of leadership management and social establishment must be mentioned, and that they cannot be ignored. Therefore, the entrepreneur is fundamental when solving social challenges and management constraints that might negatively affect the running of an organization. Entrepreneurship is a key element that enables entrepreneurs to maintain their competencies especially when dynamic changes are experienced.

Christian Harrison, 2019 in his research concluded that entrepreneurial leadership is proportional to the performance of the organization this is through implementing innovative approaches and developing a profound customer orientation process CITATION Har192 \l 1033 (Harrison, 2019).
Entrepreneurial activities encourage the development of a systematic organizational structure. A systematic organizational structure in an organization allows clear delivery of information from and to all management levels. Communication is a primary element that cheers the process of achieving the set strategic goals and objectives. The organizational structure prevents the organization from delivering wrong information to a different individual, thus its main elements are the channels of communication. The entrepreneurial organization is enhancing the development of sustainable business operations which promoted competitive business operations.
Social capital is explained as the aspects relating to social life this includes norms, the social trust which facilitates mutual benefit. The system of the community enables the individual persons to mutually perceive entrepreneurial opportunities. The concept of social capital is extensively evaluating the process of dealing with the business operations that meets their demands, this promotes positive progress both to the business organization and the society. Entrepreneurial activities allow society to always reject negative business activities that could influence societal health CITATION Bak05 \l 1033 (Baker & Nelson, 2005).
Social Capital and entrepreneurial activities are essential when developing a healthy business environment. Entrepreneurship is encouraged when people can access essential resources through the social network approach. Dana & Light, 2012 states that when the membership of social capital increases, people tend to perceive opportunities that will allow them to engage in business entrepreneurial activities CITATION Dan12 \l 1033 (Dana, 2012). Sometimes, the social capital obstructs entrepreneurial practices, expressly when the social capital network is prevented from accessing the available resources. Entrepreneurial activities promote social-economic progress, thus promoting the livelihood of the society. Society capital carries the real existence of entrepreneurial activities, customers are make up the society while the society is also benefiting from the services provided by an entrepreneur. The existence of labor and natural resources supports the fact that entrepreneurship depends entirely on society.
