Grow with Character! (15/100) Series by Hermawan Kartajaya - Entrepreneur-minded employees, Entrepreneur Berjiwa Employees

One thing that I see consistently in the self-Pak Ciputra had always until now is entrepreneurship. He believes that this is what Indonesia will bring forward. Without entrepreneurship, a country will not progress.

According to Mr. Ciputra, at least five percent of the population of a country should be inspired by the entrepreneur. So the real business or keep working on other people, but employers have souls. To me, if you are an employee but think the company you work for the company itself, the impact will be different. Not just the company, but mainly to himself. That's a less conscious people.

Many thought that he felt "lost" if it thinks the company where he worked like the company itself. "How nice .. I lost dong ... later wrote that I already have his own company, just so ..." That's why people who do not want to be intrapreneurs.

Mr. Ci "taught" me that people like that lose themselves. Not use the existing opportunities. It is, admittedly, not all companies provide the opportunity for you like that. Must be acknowledged, too hard if you work in the division of production, operation, or routine administration.

His job is only to do something according to SOP (standard operating procedure), not even the slightest innovation. But, when there are bosses like Mr. Ciputra is always "challenging" its employees to have the entrepreneurial spirit in the company, a big loss if not taken.

John Kao is a former professor at Harvard Business School who is also producer of the film Sex, Lies, and videotape. He conducted a survey and found different entrepreneurship with purely professional.

He said, there are three most important. First, a clever entrepreneur saw an opportunity, or opportunity. Meanwhile, a professional would rather see the threat or the threat of a situation.

Same situation could, but the one seen the positive side, while the one of the negatives.

Know the stories of people who sent her boss for a survey of shoes on an island? When back to the boss who asked him the survey, the employees said that there is no chance. Why? On the island no one wearing shoes. Everything was still wearing sandals.

Make the boss, the word "still" had a chance to teach them wear shoes. So, chances are great! Meanwhile, the employees who have no entrepreneurial spirit say that because they saw a threat. Threat to a job selling shoes there. Just wants to sell shoes in a place that people are wearing shoes, but a lot of competition!

Places like that make the boss instead of threats. Thus, different ways of seeing a similar situation? Second, a professional who "succeed" saw an opportunity ask them safe. Not taking any chances.

Back to the story, although he understands that the island is an opportunity, the employee asked for a guarantee that he will succeed selling shoes there. Where there is a guarantee like that. The boss, by contrast, have seen the way "teach" people there to wear shoes. He also had to imagine how much effort and cost that must be issued in the early stages. Furthermore, he also had thought of cost-benefit analysis that must be calculated.

The bosses want to take risks with the calculation. He is also ready to be a risk taker with the preparation of exit strategy if it fails to avoid losing a large scale. Meanwhile, the employee did not want to take risks, even avoided. Risk averter!

He also did not try to find creative ways to make this opportunity a reality. Waiting for her there SOP ... "I Kan men, not my employee, I am a salaried person ...." And so on!

These professionals are often only good at making excuses and defensive when ditanyain. Did not dare accept the challenge. Meanwhile, an entrepreneur dared to do something concrete actions by computation.

Third, after can see opportunities and calculate the risks and make decisions, there is still one more important. Convince others, involve other people, invite people to get capital, to support, and can be a good talent.

A professional who has no entrepreneurial spirit does not dare ask anyone else. Afraid of, fear of rejection, and fear dimarahin people. This is the "disease" of people who do. Therefore, many small entrepreneurs can only angry at the government. Ask for training, ask for capital, asked for guidance, and even asked for a business! "Cooking my local entrepreneurs and small not (help) to win the tender!" Once the complaint.

A true entrepreneur, whether he's a businessman or even remain so employees rarely complain! But, they are always trying to "sell the idea 'to someone else because he believed that a good idea!

Well, now you know? There are employees who are minded "entrepreneurs". Conversely, there are already established companies, but the "spirit" of employees. You choose so which one? Hahaha!

After 20 years, I think what I "learned" from Ciputra it fits with the research results of Prof. John Kao. Indeed Ciputra is the real entrepreneur! He was my big inspiration as Professional Service MarkPlus start on May 1, 1990 in Surabaya. (*)
