Successful service-oriented companies depend largely on teams of people who are appointed to work to fulfil organisational vision. Every firm needs to follow some basic systems to manage their employees. A single worker who alienates from the rest of the team can be harmful for a company's culture. They are called internal entrepreneurs. These entrepreneurs are both an asset as well as challenge for the management team. The management team has to try to manage them while balancing the competing interest of creativity and collaboration steps. For a solution to this problem, the management team can choose three ways.
At first, managers have to locate these 'internal entrepreneurs' among the employees. One of their major features is that they do not want to accept something easily.
Secondly, the manager has to find out if the internal entrepreneurs' limitations may be the source of his/her talents. The manager should also determine what special facilities should be given to the internal entrepreneurs. The decision should be based on many factors, the most important of them is not to disrupt the team.
Finally, managers should be confident to organise teams in such ways so that innovations across teams are developed with multiple set of skills. Managers should give individuals enough independence for innovation but at the same time should move the project forward with individuals who are prone to getting with concerted action. Innovation is done by one, it should be achieved through team work.
