Team Oriented
A man who prefer to work alone and stay alone is not
going to become a successful entrepreneur. A successful entrepreneur must be a
team player, he must understand how important a great team to his own
enterprise. Human uses social skills to communicate and cooperate in daily
life, so as the entrepreneur, they use social skills to enhance their business,
the more friends we have, the more option we have in our life.
According to smallbusiness.chron, team oriented which can
mean as team player that means a
businesses interested in fostering a team culture recognize and reward team
players. Traits that distinguish team players are the desire to achieve
consensus and involve others in decision-making, communicating openly and
honestly, caring about fellow team members, being accountable for problems and
trying to understand other points of view. These traits sometimes are listed in
merit rating systems and become criteria for recognition, promotions or
remedial training.
Team Player those who go into business for themselves but
do not utilize teamwork wind up without the team but still have all the work to
get done. They shoulder the whole burden for themselves, and wind up just
trading their old job for a new and more demanding one – in an attempt to be
self-employed. But the new venture carries greater personal and financial
risks. On the other hand, team players know how to succeed by employing the
physics of interpersonal synergy and dynamic relationships. One twig can be
easily snapped, but a bundle of those small twigs becomes stronger than the sum
of its individual parts and can be impossible to bend, much less break. The
same goes for businesses, and successful entrepreneurs leverage teamwork to get
the heavy lifting done without breaking stride.
Mark
Zuckerberg is co-founder and CEO of the social-networking website Facebook, as
well as one of the world's youngest billionaires. At his
last Town Hall-style question-and-answer session, someone asked him to
talk about “the exact moment” when he decided to build Facebook. He stated
that one person’s efforts are never enough. The media often simplifies what it
takes to build a startup, he says, making it seem like it there’s always one
person with a genius idea who manages to build a great company. Instead, he
argues, you need a bunch of people working on an adaptive concept together for
a long period of time. You don’t need to be a prodigy to start your own cool
company— you just need to be passionate and focused.
Zuckerberg knows that
for any business to be successful, you need to have a great team. He says that “The most important thing for you
as an entrepreneur trying to build something is, you need to build a really good
team. And that’s what I spend all my time on… I spend probably 25 percent of my
time recruiting, finding good people, both outside the company and inside the
company, to put them in more impactful roles.” Zuckerberg’s company, Facebook treats
its employees well -- free food, free dry cleaning, as well as a lot of other
enticing benefits. But make no mistake -- the key attraction is the company's culture and the vision of its
leader. “The right people are not those
who have the right competency; they are those who have the right attitude. Some
of the most successful businesses have a nontraditional, strengths-based
approach to hiring -- hire the best talent first, then worry about finding the
right role for them”, said by Zuckerberg
