Launching a start-up- advice from a failed entrepreneur


Murtaza walks us through his journey of inspiring leaders and what he learned from his experiences and failures along the way. It is not always easy or successful. Here are the key points to remember:

1. Secret Keeping

As a leader when your employee confides in you with a secret, keep it and don’t tell it away. It makes you a more reliable and worthy person, as a human and as a leader both.

2. Being Human

Be Human! It is important to inculcate in the people around you that you are a human and relatable. Fear will never earn you respect and loyalty of your employees or colleagues. Let it be known that you are a human, they can share their feelings with you and in return they will not leave you for petty things and will be loyal to. It makes the work place welcoming for both you and them.

3. Analyze the Receiving

Never evaluate a person/employees worth by what you are paying them. Analyze their value by what they are bringing to the table or you, for the work they do for you. Thus, never judge your employees for what you give them but what you receive from them.

4. Taking Responsibility

Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, your team should see you as the first one in the line of fire during a crisis. As a leader always be in the front when a challenge arises, as this motivates your team members. You need to inspire a confidence in your team members and organization that you will take the challenge head on with them, rather than make them the scapegoat.

 

Conclusion

Hence, we gather from these valuable lessons learnt through years of experience of a young entrepreneur, which more than ones knowledge and aptitude, the character of the leader and his empathy towards the team matters. Being human and trustworthy will earn greater outcomes than treating them as workers getting paid.
