Assignment nr. 1 (Veronica)- Team of Heroes

Being an entrepreneur you have the complete freedom to dictate when, where, how, with whom to work on. This freedom also offers the possibility to choose your own staff. Hiring employees and transforming it into a creative team is both challenging and difficult.

First I would apply one of the weird ideas by Robert Sutton like hiring people with various educational backgrounds who can personify freedom and creativity. I would accept people who have drive and passion. A creative team transforms environment from boredom into excitement and pessimism into optimism. The staff members included in my company would necessarily improve their skills in: Emotional Intelligence (EQ), Productive Meeting Management, Working Styles and Creativity. Creative individuals have several features that distinguish them from the others by having an enriched knowledge and well-developed skills and of course they find work extremely motivating. (The Entrepreneurial Venture- 2nd edition)Greatness and Innovation is there, within each one of us, waiting to be born and fear turns into courage and confidence. Hiring employees is like recruiting a team full of heroes and fighters that can have the capacity to create and innovate. Collective work means continually offering to employees for more complex tasks and enhancing great work flexibility.

Secondly, I will let my staff to create because I can not dictate the objectives because in such manner the final product may suffer. The creative process can be guided but not controlled because creative people have their own way of making things.

The last but not the least, I will let them solve some issues within the enterprise because it will increase the enthusiasm and also to reward the employees in order to create a more motivating environment.

My first aim in a group environment is to eliminate the fear, confusion and stress in order to achieve the needed creativity process. The stuff’s output depends largely only on the entrepreneur and the team will be creative as long as the people from management will allow them to be.
