Enterpreneurship Talk in NYP by Bernard Leonghelloedithere
The Team is Flat” in Nanyang Poly on 2nd August
All eight slides are simply summarized here:
Flatten the organization
United We Stand, Divided We Fall
Think Win-Win
Know Your Enemy
Strong Leadership
Brand, Brand and Brand
Innovation and not Imitation
Organization above self: Transition
He emphasized the four main ingredients of an enterprise: team, idea, business model and cash, and I convinced them that team is the most important among the four.
After all, without a good team, a good idea can lead to waste, and you do not have people to trust to manage the cash and also execute the business model properly. In some sense, doing a business is not about learning financials and accounting as detailed in most courses on entrepreneurship. I agree that those skills are essential, but ultimately, doing a business is about managing relationships between people, like how you interact with your investors, collaborators, partners and most importantly, customers.
