Many of us dream of becoming great entrepreneurs, having people lining up to join our new corporation and following our lead. The question you should ask yourself beforehand is why should anyone work for you? What is the thing that will convince talents that they can blindly bet on you ? How hard is it for you to find ways to engage people and rouse their commitment to your goals? Those are good questions.
If you want to silence a room of MBAs, try this small trick. Ask them, "Why would anyone want to be led by you?" I've asked that question for the past week to several colleagues. Without fail, the response is a stunned hush.
As far less people believe that actually everyone can be a leader. I think it’s a good exercise for all of us who consider going solo and starting our own business to think whether we really have what it takes.
