Questionnaire was designed to data collection from a quota sample of (283) leaders and managers at branches of the most two huge Egyptian banks represent public and private sectors (NBE and CIB). Data analysis was conducted through a two-stage structural equation modeling technique by AMOS. At the first stage, the measurement model was examined for construct validity and reliability, whereas at the second stage, the structural model was run for testing the research hypotheses. The empirical results show that entrepreneurial leadership and strategic flexibility positively and significantly affect both innovation speed and quality.
