Creatively-Active leading and performing by taking responsibility.
There are two types of employees no company cares for: those who NEVER do what they’re told, and those who ONLY do what they’re told!
Situation:Co-employee instead of Co-entrepreneur
- The well-behaved working employee, doing all the things his/her boss orders to do, is to overwhelmed, to deal with the increasing complexity, the pressure of competition, the ongoing dynamic change and the many internal and external interfaces.
- Creativly-activ and responsible Co-entrepreneurs are the basis to overcome the challenges, the company faces, at present and in the future. In the long run only those companies that create frameworks and opportunities for development, of courageous Co-entrepreneurs, demand and support entrepreneurship,will be successful.
- So, Co-Entrepreneurs, are those, not only passively following orders, or only doing things by the book, but who initiate projects and Creative-actions, recognise and use connections and synergies, lead and bravely make progress.
