Venture team building

While delving deeper trying to understand how to define roles, identify suitable talent and nurture/motivate teams for specific organizational tasks, I came across this slide set. It helped me clarify my concepts of  leader vs manager, who is a 'customer', and the many hats that entrepreneurs have to wear to achieve their goals and targets to achieve their mission. It contains some cartoons at the end that lightened the length!

Hope you find them useful. The essence that I extracted from our assigned reading and the slide set -  learn everything you can about people (customer), people (employee/team, staff), people (partner, investor, grantor,advisor). Set a personal example of integrity and authenticity ( demonstrate consistency in personal values) to actively  lead AND manage them in your organization while meeting the planned targets. Ensure healthy and desirable differences in skill sets without compromising values,  to avoid 'birds of a feather getting lost together'. The skill (and challenge) lies in execution of the plan, so be nimble, flexible and adaptable too.
