Intellectual leadership behaviors development and attraction is the most important factor for Silicon Valley’s success. In this context, the increasing dependence of Silicon Valley on leadership entrepreneurial skills and technological innovation adoption is a potential for envisioning and advancing their firms. This paper is attempt to explore the design principles of such innovation-support mechanism and determine the more elusive ingredients for their success.
