I was thinking again today after looking over some old market research about team building and what kind of product or service you could create to help start ups.
And I came across this series of scribbles... all about why people might want to form teams.
Bill Gates – owner of Microsoft - "Our success has really been based on partnerships from the very beginning."
Sam Walton – Owner of Walmart - “Individuals don’t win in business, teams do.”
Henry Ford: Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.
Dwight D. Eisenhower - It is better to have one person working with you than three people working for you.
Ken Blanchard - None of us is as smart as all of us.
Plautus - No man is wise enough by himself.
‘Entrepreneurialism isn’t getting one over on your customer, it’s not about working on your own, it’s not about looking out for number one,it’s about turning what excited you in life into capital’ Richard B.
Sam Walton is a famous entrepreneur and founder of the most capitalized company in the world; “Wal-Mart.” During his time, he was referred to as the master motivator; he also emerged the richest man in the world and owner of the largest retail chain.
“Keep everybody guessing as to what your next trick is going to be. Don’t become too predictable.”
“The more they know, the more they’ll understand. The more they understand, the more they’ll care. Once they care, there’s no stopping them.”
“Nothing else can quite substitute for a few well-chosen, well-timed, sincere words of praise. They’re absolutely free – and worth a fortune.”
“Each Wal-Mart store should reflect the values of its customers and support the vision they hold for their community.”
“If you love your work, you’ll be out there every day trying to do it the best you possibly can, and pretty soon everybody around will catch the passion from you – like a fever.”
“Ignore the conventional wisdom. If everybody else is doing it one way, there's a good chance you can find your niche by going in exactly the opposite direction.”
“Capital isn't scarce. Vision is.”
“Don't take yourself so seriously. Loosen up, and everybody around you will loosen up. Have fun. Show enthusiasm – always.”
“Don't do a hula on Wall Street. It's been done. Think up your own stunt. All of this is more important, and more fun, than you think, and it really fools the competition. ‘Why should we take those cornballs at Wal-Mart seriously?
“We’re all working together; that’s the secret.”
“Appreciate everything your associates do for the business. If people believe in themselves, it’s amazing what they can accomplish.”
