Too Much Teamwork Can Kill Creativity
Teamwork is essential to organizational success but too much teamwork can be deadly. This is because it encourages the establishment of collectivism and group think. Instead of coming up with a variety of different and unique ideas, the team unites and don’t come up with as many ideas. The challenge for leaders is to balance individual needs with team directives. To do so they must avoid collectivism and facilitate collaboration. The secret to effective collaboration is individuality.
Get A Lot Of Attention And Deliver Significant Value By Keeping A Broad Business Picture In Mind
Mercenary entrepreneurs – today disproportionately running consumer-web businesses – are young, aggressive and ambitious people, which are all good qualities, but they have no broad picture or purpose. They are getting lots of ‘eyeballs’ and ‘users’ but aren’t delivering any significant value.
Missionary entrepreneurs – more often found running life sciences, green technology, infrastructure or deep sciences businesses – have a bigger goal beyond just making money. For missionaries, it is not about buying low and selling high or getting out quickly; it’s about building something sustainable so that you can have the kind of impact you want and accomplish your greater purpose.
The purpose can become so core to your business that it can survive well after you have left the company.
