Entrepreneurial Spirit…
nuggetsoflearning • May 8, 2018
Many organisations are now looking for that edge, employees who although part of a company have independent thinking. The group operate as entrepreneurs, thinking their department is a business and being open to new thinking and new ways of working.
In Sahar Hashemi’s book “Switched On” she gives a route as to how to engage with your entrepreneurial spirit.
- Believe anyone can do it – use the skills of everyday life in your life at work.
- Put yourself in your customers’s shoes – Jeff Bezos famously has an empty chair at every meeting for the client
- Get out of the office – Engage with the wide world – leave the office and know what is going on around you
- Become clueless – Forgetting how you do things – dump the baggage or the language “we have always done it this way”
- Prototype – What does your product or service look and feel like? – gain insight from something tangible
- Notch up Nos – Change your attitude to a “no” – try harder and see a “no” as a challenge
- Bootstrap – Get things done with limited resources, work really hard and then harder
- Take 100% of yourself to work – 100% effort + 100% personality = being you
Each of these tips are new habits that you need to work into your diary so that they become rituals and disciplines that you adopt.
Involve your team with the ideas and initiatives you will then be a group of entrepreneurs totally switched on.
