This week was a very quick week in
learning but I feel like I learned very two important lessons. The first lesson
is that I need to allow others in my company to explore their dreams and
desires. In the video License to Pursue
Dreams by Marissa Mayer, she talks about how Google allows its employees to
spend 20% of company time on their own projects and ambitions. People ask her
if Google isn’t losing out profitability and losing company time. Marissa
charted all the projects in the last half of 2005 and found out that 50% of
those projects actually became products for Google. Enabling people to use my
tools for their benefits can increase profits, morale and a company over all.
The second
lesson I learned this week is not to under estimate myself. Just like Taylor’s
Boat were the number six in the country for boating companies, I too can become
the best entrepreneur and have the best business or company based upon the team
that comes together. Mr. Taylor does quote Good
to Great by James Collins. It is amazing how many people use this book and takes
its principles and actually become the best. If I assemble a team that is the
best, we can make the business the best.
