ENTREPRENEURIAL TRAITS: TEAM ORIENTED

Team is a group of people organized to work together or joined in order to do something together. Oriented is for or interested in a particular type of person or thing. While team oriented is known as team-mate, team spirit and team teaching. The most important is the team must consist of group of people who shared the same goals and dare to take a risk by working together to achieve goals. On the other hand, they have to be able to work as an essential part of team.
            The characteristic that must have in team oriented is someone must have tendency and pleasure to work in team and putting team’s best interest as priority instead of own individual pursuits. For example, you just do not think about yourself but include others in your decision. Everyone has a contribution factor in operation and decisions that concern the venture. No one is more superior and everybody has an equal say without any repercussion which is unintended consequence that occur after event especially the unwelcome one.
            Someone has to be positive with team members and maintain open communication and an open mind when requesting feedback from the team. One should request feedback from the team so that we can recognize and use individual strength of team members. On the other hand, we should also accept shared responsibility and ownership of projects.
            The main purpose of team oriented is everyone can move in same direction in order to achieve and see what is “winning” really looks like. Next, for the team to understand the company philosophy of loyalty, management needs to lead by example. In addition, the purpose is to ensure management and ownership which makes work enjoyable and increase intention. Example of fields that applied team oriented as principle are social work, sports and business.
            Take for example, Larry Page is one of the entrepreneur that works with team oriented. Larry is an American computer scientist and successful internet entrepreneur. He is also a co-founder of Google Incorporation with Sergey Bin. Living in a background as his father was a computer science professor at Michigan State University and his mother was an instructor in computer programming at Lumann Briggs College at Michigan State University making his childhood was usually a mess with computers, science magazine all over the place.
            The biggest achievement of Larry Page began when he started research project with Sergey Bin in September 1998. By year of 2000, Google search engine attracted a loyal following among the growing number of internet users. Until now, Google has grown 40,000 employees worldwide. This management team represent that Larry Page knows how to make the team co-operate and become oriented.
            Larry Page focuses on allowing employees to pay attention to their crazy ideas and cultivate the best of them. He also says that his employees should follow the qualities such as empower your team and don’t micromanage, have a clear vision and strategy for the team and uses the participating leadership style and laissez-faire management style which giving much freedom to his employees so they can make the most out of their creativity.

            Larry wants his team to feel that they’re having a meaningful impact and are contributing to the good of the society. This shows that Larry Page wants the team to become oriented.
