Leadership Lessons from the social network: Teamwork

movie, The Social Network, is a powerful picture of how Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his team began with a dream and $ 1,000 start-up, to become the youngest billionaire in the world . At the point of writing, the value of Facebook to be worth at least $ 50 billion, this means that they are worth more than eBay, Yahoo, and Time Warner. This is a very impressive result given the fact that Facebook was launched in February 04.

and there are also a lot of lessons that this film can teach us about leadership and management of the team, this is the final series of the trilogy. There may be some information in the film, which was exaggerated to increase the level of excitement, even Zuckerberg himself, and calls for the social network "inaccurate." Hence, I would like to take all of this information with a pinch of salt Most of the lessons learned from the film itself, and not from real life.

In this article, I will share about teamwork and how it can help you unlock the true potential as a leader.

proper delegation of work. can be the whole team succeed only when you know what their ranges. In one of the scenes in the social network, Mark Zuckerberg wanted to expand the face book, and managed his team for their role, and what I was supposed to do. When the two women who were in the living room, asked if they could help in any way, he refused without a lot of thought to it at that moment, he knew he did not require help them in any way. On the other hand, he said, on the face of others specifically what were their duties. The

and even the brothers Winklevoss defined roles for their team. They knew that were deficient in a special talent when the programmer left the team to focus on his studies. Thus when news leaked that Zuckerberg was able to shut down traffic Harvard with a "joke", he arrived on the spot to him and sharing their ideas with him so that he can work for them.

Once you know what is supposed to be made up of your team, you will be able to find the right person for the job. You need to set goals stretched and measurable for them, and you also need to see the progress. Effective delegation and not just push away jobs that were supposed for you. Actual delegation is to make sure that the person who has the right skill to do what he or she knows best.

For example, let's assume that you're going to increase your customer base with promotional blitz. First, you need to know the members of your team are in this project. Second, then you need to determine who is doing what, and accomplished through a certain period of time. After that, Jane must come with packages of products and links with other partners, and John must reach the X advertising companies with marketing materials. And then once in the planning stage is over, the real work must begin so that the project begins to roll with the momentum of all parties.

quality relationship building first, then your business . Now, not every partner work together in the beginning. It's your job to settle the differences. And quickly. In the social network, and it was Eduardo Saverin his own ideas in ensuring the success of the company. However, Mark Zuckerberg was also his ideas. While he was chief financial officer Saverin in the business, and proceeded to pull Zuckerberg Sean Parker, founder of Napster in the team. Parker portrayed Saverin and be a mutual dislike for each other, and when your colleagues doubted each other, unless you find time to sort things out, and simply be swept many of the issues under the carpet, and will worsen.

as a leader, and you need to take the time to understand your business partner because people want you to understand their aspirations and dreams. They want you to understand what they are good at, and where they can be placed in respect of projects. Why do you want to put a person with zero knowledge in sales without training first? And I have spent the time to understand whether he even likes the sales? So by investing the time to understand your core team members at work, you will be building quality relationships.

therefore understand your team, and they will learn to understand you. It will surely take a long time and this is a fun and rewarding part in building a team.
