.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty margin-bottom:0;
This is the sentence:
Entrepreneurial leadership is the leader’s ability to influence others, to nurture the culture, to manage resources, and to develop a competitive behavior to seek opportunities and advantages (Ireland et al., 2003).
In my language, we don't repeat the equivalent of "to" multiple times and it's correct to use it just once (before the first verb).
So I was wondering, would the following sentence be grammatically correct:
Entrepreneurial leadership is the leader’s ability to influence others, nurture the culture, manage resources, and develop a competitive behavior to seek opportunities and advantages (Ireland et al., 2003).
Or is it necessary to use "to" before each verb?

The example you gave of a sentence with fewer instances of the word “to” seems perfectly fine to me, as a native English speaker and grammar hobbyist.

What seems perfectly fine to you? Using to multiple times, using it only once, or both versions of the sentence? And why?
