9 Entrepreneurial Team Member Traits

Sam Wheeler of PayRight Health Solutions posted a great comment yesterday about traits he finds in entrepreneurial team members at thriving startups. After seeing the list, I readily agree.

Here are his nine entrepreneurial traits of successful team members:

  1. Flourish with ambiguity.
  2. Love constant change.
  3. Feel as if they are on a mission.
  4. Comfortable being misunderstood.
  5. Can make decisions and move quickly.
  6. Willing to discard prior beliefs when proven wrong.
  7. Always try to hire smarter and better employees.
  8. Don’t give up, but know when to move on.
  9. Think of themselves as builders.

The next time you’re recruiting a candidate, or thinking through your core values, reference this solid list.

What else? What are some other entrepreneurial team member traits you like?
