Employee Thinking• Directed by managers or supervisors

• Have to fit within a hierarchy

• They are usually not in charge of how much money they make

• They are rewarded for being team players not individuals

• If they fail they are seen as not competent


Employee Thinking

• They can’t arrange their time to fit their personal needs

• They may feel that they are trapped and have no control

• Connect hours worked with the monetary value – “hours for dollars”

• They may become experts in one thing or one way of doing things

"The most common way that people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any." - Alice Walker


Entrepreneurial Thinking• They have a vision for where they want to go• They keep learning• They view obstacles as opportunities

• They’re open to making mistakes • They don’t let failure stop them• They think outside of the box

• They surround themselves with positive people• They are “idea people”• They take action to bring their vision into reality

“When nothing is sure, everything is possible.” –Margaret Drabble
