SETTING UP A NEW COMPANY

• Every company stats with the intent that one day it will become a large company.

• One thing that we have to keep in mind while starting a company is that a startup company is not a small version of a large company

• A startup company requires different management principles and a leadership which is more participative.

• Every company that has grown from a small scratch to multibillion dollar giants shows that their management principles were different at startup

LEADERSHIP STYLE REQUIRED FOR A STARTUP COMPANY

• Startup stage for any business is filled with passion and excitement.

• Startup leadership requires passion for vision.

• The founder/leader should have direct hands on the day to day operations of the company.

• He should lead by examples

• Do not be a slave to management theorists.

• The leader should be good in networking, experimenting and facilitating

Contd..,

• Leaders should be flexible.

• The leader should take active participation in functions like forecasting, planning, organizing, commanding, coordinating and controlling.

• Employees are the strength and weakness of any company.

• Employees should be properly trained and educated. They should add value to the organization.

• A Democratic style of leadership will be appropriate for a startup company especially when it is a new kind of business.

HOW CAN LEADERSHIP HELP A COMPANY TO MEET INDUSTRIAL STANDARDS?

• Stringent quality control measures should cover every aspects of business – the leader should make this sure.

• Real world examples has shown how quality of a product can affect the reputation of a company

• This is dependent on the vision of the leader.

• The success of any company depends on how well it serves the needs of its customers.
