of people who are working for someone else & spending their days doing work that they hate, instead of realizing themselves & their dreams, doing what they love & fulfilling their true potential
those who aren’t usually feel the pain due to working as sub-ordinates that are constantly being told what to do & how to do it. • People aren't meant to be machines, & working like that makes them really miserable. • People should have enough freedom in their work to make decisions by themselves & apply their creativity & brain, & not just their hands • See Paul Graham’s analogy* of lions in the Savannah vs lions in the zoo *http://www.paulgraham.com/boss.html
little entrepreneurs work on what they love & realize their dreams? It's just very difficult, risky & unlikely to succeed because: • It requires the ability to influence people to work with you, & invest their time & money for you • It requires the knowledge & experience of how to do things right • It requires the perseverance to iterate many times until you find the product-market fit • It requires the leadership & values to build an effective team & a successful organization
working remotely, e.g., from their home or a co-working space • But you very seldom see remote workers finding remote collaborators & starting a new business together • This is probably due to the difficulty in finding, building & managing an effective team, when all members are remote workers
freedom at work, & work without power hierarchy so that they’ll love their work & not be miserable as tiny cogs? • Because people aren’t aware of any alternative to corporate hierarchy which doesn’t involve managers telling their sub-ordinates what to do • But is there such an alternative?
describes a new way to organize people, which he claims is very effective & powerful • He claims that when you take a team of people, & give them a common goal & the freedom to reach it by themselves, they'll self-organize in an effective way & be much more successful than a group of people working in an hierarchy of managers & sub-ordinates • He calls such organizations: Teal Organizations
Teal organizations • Buurtzorg - the leading home-care company in Netherlands • Zappos - a leading online retailer acquired by Amazon • Telus - the 3rd largest cellular operator in Canada
program for creating Teal Organizations: autonomous teams working without any power hierarchy to deliver value to customers • fromTeal basically facilitates the creation & management of Teal Organizations from their inception to their graduation as successful companies
them & facilitating their needs, such as: • defining & designing products • recruiting teams members to build & sell them • enable the team to work together with no managers • iterate on the products until they are in high demand • receive technical, business & marketing support
make it successful, without taking any risk - they can do all of this while continuing to work on their day job • It helps them recruit & collaborate with a distributed team of like-minded people, who are also motivated by the passion & desire to work on what they love, love their work & eventually make a living out of it
startups (e.g., Fiverr), fromTeal focuses on building a great team that will grow the new business & make it successful • Unlike existing startup incubators & accelerator programs, fromTeal helps build a new kind of organizations, that are driven by a desire to make customers & employees happier, instead of just making shareholders richer
people in the intersection of: Population of the world fromTeal users Make a living out of it Work on what they love Love their work * See also the Japanese concept of Ikigai
