Alpha Gamma Solutions investigates the difference between employees and entrepreneurs

Entrepreneurs tend to have a common set of characteristics and as supporters of entrepreneurship, Alpha Gamma Solutions have investigated the differences between employees and entrepreneurs.

There are some key differences between the types of people who thrive as employees and succeed as entrepreneurs. These key differences are in mindset, habits and comfort levels that result in different types of workers. Alpha Gamma Solutions investigate the difference between what makes a great employee and what makes a great entrepreneur (lifehack.org).

• Employees do while entrepreneurs listen – the employee is the person who gets the most work done in any organisation.       The entrepreneur is there in order for them to do it well by listening to their needs and ensuring they maintain a productive and positive work environment.

• Employees are often specialists while entrepreneurs are generalists – employees are often specialists in one particular area and at the same time the entrepreneur will need to know a little bit about a lot of things.

• Employees follow the rules and entrepreneurs are there to break them – to create a successful business an entrepreneur has to disrupt something, break a rule or change the game. But in order to keep the entrepreneur’s company going, the employees need to be there to uphold the new status quo.

• Employees dislike failure while entrepreneurs embrace it – entrepreneurs know that failure is more likely than success, and that it means learning which can lead to success. An employee would rather not fail at their job, because it can lead to fear of losing the value as an employee.
