Teamwork & Success

SYED MAHMOOD NAQVI - Vice President | MB Enterprises

Working as part of a team is an essential part of character building. It is not an easy task, building a team and managing a team. When building a team one must first set themselves as an example to follow.

When it comes to working as a team there must be no excuses and one must be willing to step above and do the job whenever they are required. The development of a team comes with time and effort and a developed team can take upon any task that they are presented with.

Small business ventures can be run independently, however if you are ever trying to expand your business and move on to the next level having a strong core team is very important. The most impressive feats are accomplished by groups of people, not individuals.

The purpose of a leader is to work with the people to find solutions that work best collectively. Leaders bring people together. The best leaders don’t act with a sense of superiority or try to patronize the people working for them; they act like a father.

If you are working as a team the people around you in the team will try and emulate you. If you work hard and set the bar high, then others will follow this example. Most people also have a competitive spirit and this is fueled more when they see others around them succeeding. So if you set a good example for the team they will follow you. This will work both ways as it will also inspire you to do better in order to be a good example for others.

You should be the kind of person who wants to be a team player. People respect the ability to work well with others more than anything. Your individual actions have an impact, but if you’re reluctant to do something to help your team, it’ll have a negative impact on whatever task you are trying to complete

The amount of work you put in with your team will directly result in more success. And always remember: the success of your team is your success.
