The film, The social network is a powerful portrait of the founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg and started his team with a dream and a $ 1000 start-up, the youngest billionaire in the world.
At the point of writing, Facebook is valued to be worth at least $50 billion, and this would mean that she is worth more than eBay, Yahoo, and Time Warner.
This is a really impressive given the fact that Facebook launched in February 2004.
There are also plenty of lessons that this movie can teach us about leadership and team management, and this is the final series of the trilogy.
Hence I would take all these information with a pinch of salt and relate most of the lessons learned, from the movie itself, and not from real life.
Proper Delegation of Work.
In one of the scenes in the Social Network, Mark Zuckerberg wanted to expand The Face Book, and he directed his team on their roles, and what they were supposed to do.
And when the two ladies who were present in the living room, they asked if they could help in any way, it sank without much thought at this point to know that you do not need their help in any way.
On the other hand, he specifically told the others what their tasks were.
The brothers had Winklevoss specific roles for their team.
And they knew that they were deficient in a particular talent when their programmer left the team to concentrate on his studies.
So when the news came that Zuckerberg able to traffic from Harvard with his wit station was \"she reached up to him and shared their thoughts with him, that he work for them.
Once you know what your team is supposed to be made up of, you would be able to find the right person for the job.
You need to set goals and measurable long for them, and you must also be informed about the progress.
Effective delegation is not merely pushing away the jobs that were meant for you.
Effective delegation is to ensure that the person with the right skills to do what he or she knows best.
For example, let's presume that you intend to increase your customer base with a promotional blitz.
First, you need to know that the team members in this project.
Secondly, you then need to identify who does what, and their deliverables by a certain time.
Hence once the planning stage is over, the real action must start so that the project starts to roll with momentum from all parties.
Now, not every partner will work together initially.
It is your task to smooth differences.
And fast.
In The Social Network Saverin Eduardo had his own ideas to ensure the success of the company.
However, Mark Zuckerberg had his own ideas too.
And while Saverin was Chief Financial Officer of the sector, Zuckerberg has continued to draw Sean Parker, founder of Napster in the team.
Parker and Saverin were portrayed to have mutual dislike for each other and when your teammates distrust each other, unless you find time to sort things out, many issues will simply be swept under the carpet and it will fester.
They want you to understand what they are good in, and where they can fit in with regard to projects.
Why do you want to sell to a person with zero knowledge of him without training? And you spent the time to find out whether he even wants to sales? So, invest time to understand your team members in the field, to develop good relationships.
Hence understand your team, and they will learn to understand you.
Certainly some time and it is fun and rewarding part of team building.
