I am keen to hear from people if it has. I am studying a module where we have had to work in a team of 5 to produce a business plan, we are all friends, we had 8 weeks to produce it (its due this Friday), we are all friends. During those 8 weeks not a single full turnout meeting has taken place and every team needs a organiser and we have one - me (and I feel like I've failed).
We've got a girl who is seems mentally-displaced and over reactive, for criticism for not delivering what she was expected to (she has a selfish reputation), and another couple of people who have not put the effort in, and its been left to two members to carry the project.
I've learnt that when I run my business in future, going with friends may not be the best idea or better, choosing the correct type of people to employ/work with is VERY important.
Working with guys is easier then girls, as we just don't mix emotions with business. I am not generalising because there are awesome girls out there and I've had good experiances too. I've worked in teams of guys and girls before and its been easier to work with guys, girls can get exteremly vicious sometimes over the smallest things!
I thrive when it comes to entrepreneurial activities like these, I feel like I've actually LEARNT something during this process but it has left me with such disappointed feelings of not achieving the potential!
What do you do?
Argh!
