Tugas Softskill 1 Bahasa Inggris Bisnis 2

          Being a CEO of a startup is a hard and complex job. This is a list of 13 things to watch every week the CEO of a startup, according to Founder and CEO of Fab.com, Jason Goldberg:
          Remember the most important thing. “Your startup can only do one thing well at a time“. As a startup, we can only focus on one thing. Identify the most important thing is the writing on the wall. Everyday continue it. Make sure it is also present in our communication. Do not let the most important thing is distracted by other things.
          Remember that you are great because your team.“Remember that you’re only as good as The Team around you” Take the time to develop the team. Navigate the team to pull out the best of their ability. Motivation them and bring them to a good performance. Give them the freedom to develop themselves while directing them to the company's goals. Treat employees like family. Startup can be like a home for them. Directs us to love the team work and the company is very important for success. Startup is not just a place to work, but a way of life. As a CEO, a job we are not doing the work of others. Our job is to help each person to do a better job. Also make sure they can provide feedback to the leadership so that leaders can figure out which parts will be developed.
         Build standard value of our company. “Everyone takes their cues from you“ Every employee, customer, investor, partner, twitter followers, and facebook friends in taking the example of our actions. Do we appreciate the company working speed? Or very strong in the analysis? reward innovation? priority to Customer Service? Our corporate culture reflects how we act as CEO .. Act how we want our company is known. Large companies will be reflected from the leaders and employees of the company.
         Spend 75% of time for product development. "Your company is only as good as its product" of our products is a reflection of our company. Do your best in product formation. Always think of the benefits for the user. As a CEO we are also required to be Chief Product Officer. As CEO we have to be responsible for every detail of the products made. Each product is made to be able to reflect the company's goals.
         Consider the numbers. My emphasis is not on a budget or cash flow, but the key metrics, weekly email to your team to summarize the whole key data that drive a business. Make the email itself. By writing an email forcing us to work hard to analyze the data. Make sure that everyone in the company to focus on the numbers that drive a business. Create focus only on the 3 to 5 most important metrics.
         Practice. We as CEO should be able to manage the stress and physical well. Come to the gym 4 days a week is one way to provide energy and stamina so that we can resolve complex problems. Being a CEO is very challenging both mentally and physically. Use sports as a way to refresh the mind. If now we have not done so, we would be very surprised by how much fun life when you exercise. Leave us keyboard and exercise.
         Ask for feedback. "You're not as smart as you think you are" It turns out we are not as smart as we thought and you are bound to make mistakes. Ask your employees, customers, partners and everyone involved in the business to get feedback on a regular basis. Make sure there is one in our team who can honestly give feedback on our performance. Be sure we also have one person outside of our members or external consultants who can provide feedback on a regular basis in the development of our business.
         Out of Office. Too boring if we just stick with the keyboard and mouse. Get out of the office and communicate directly with customers, partners, suppliers, bloggers, and media. Listen to what they say and make the learning. Do we only see things according to the vision of our. We also have to be able to listen to the reality of them.
         Blog, tweet, read and participate in the CEO forum. Share what we have learned such important points and tips and tricks. Do not be afraid to enter the world of online and comment there. Read the news to keep out the development of the CEO and other technology lovers. Expand the network of investors to get advice and feedback from other CEO who have the same condition.
         Adjusting Cash. Cash is the blood that is so important for the startup. We should always know the rest of the cash, with the money we could survive how long and what the impact of our decisions on our financial condition. And do not forget to raise cash as much - much before we need it.
         Act like an investor. Each end of the week, ask yourself: Is the action that we did last week have increased the value of the product? What is the value added of the investment that has been used time last week? If we passed 2 weeks without a positive added value on investment time we do so we must have been on the wrong path.
         Having fun. "This stuff is too hard and takes too much energy to not enjoy it" Managing a startup will take a lot of energy if we do not enjoy it. Be sure we also have to have - happy every day. Although we passed tough day but we also still have to enjoy it. If we do not enjoy it then we do the wrong thing. One of the favorite sayings when we did not enjoy our startup is a startup adult but we will not grow. 
          Love. Love your company. Love your employee. Love your investor. Love your partner. And the most important is the continued support you love your family every day so that we can always rise.
