Team is Steam
In other words,Right People on the bus.
Any business is all about people whether it is customers or
employees or investors.
Most businesses start because they solve certain problem or
found an innovation that is so powerful that it disrupts existing way of doing
things and some businesses start because there is huge demand for it and so on
and so forth.
The ‘Why’ is important –but ‘who’ is also equally important
if not more, in my opinion ‘Who’ is more important than ‘why’, basically ‘why’
is extrinsic it depends on lot of vectors which are beyond control and may
change with time or situation. But if you have right people on the bus, the
right team, then ‘why’ may change or alter or evolve or dissolve but the team
makes any ‘why’ you choose possible.
Let’s take an example -Apple built PC because of Steve
wozniak, it sold and became apple because of Steve jobs but as time changed “why
“changed but same team of brilliant apple engineers and developer, sold music,
disrupted music industry by I tunes, made I pod and disrupted biggies like Sony
Walkman and Philips, same apple made phone that was smart, made blackberry and
nokia non existential, apple made watch
that was smart, same apple made things that had different “why” every time.
“Why “ you are making
the product or service, you are making ,may change but “who” does it will
determine will you cease to exist after the “why” is served or you keep evolving with new
challenges and new “why’s” to conquer.
Team is like steam in a good old steam engine, it is not
about the direction you go if you have right amount of steam, you can choose
any direction you love to go and there you go. The steam is not bought, it is
created by having right people with right approach and vision and then boiled
to a point of ultimate human capacity to excel and there you get the right
steam to drive even the largest barge that ever existed or make a super-fast locomotive
or a great turbine.
Getting right people on the bus will make your journey to
excellence and success much more fascinating and successful than any other
single factor can.
Team is the Steam, destination may change, passengers many
part, even the locomotive may change but if you have the ‘Steam of team’ you
will accelerate come what may.
