advantages of team-oriented is high effieciently. This is because when we have
team-oriented,we can cooperate with our team member to finish our job.
Competition and growth also is the advantages of team-oriented. Team-oriented
allows team member learn how
other member do
their jobs, and can be a source of education and inspiration. Less experienced
team member can learn and grow from their interactions with senior-level team
members. Opportunities to learn from each others' strengths can also lead to a

quality

Frederick W. Smith is
one of the entrepreneur who
is fulfilling the trait of team-oriented. Smith
was born to a well-to-do family in 1944 in a small suburb outside Memphis,
Tennessee. His father, who died when Smith was only 4, became a self-made
millionaire after founding the Dixie Greyhound Bus Lines and a chain of
restaurants called the Toddle House.
In 1971,Smith began his
operation Federal Express (FedEx) with 14 Falcon jets servicing 25 cities. The
company began offering service to 25 cities, and it began with small packages
and documents and a fleet of 14 Falcon 20
(DA-20) jets in 1973. Smith focus was on developing an integrated air-ground
system, which had never been done before. In
the 1990s, FedEx Ground planned, but later abandoned, a joint service with British
Airways to have BA fly a Concorde
SST to Shannon, Ireland with FedEx packages on board, and
then FedEx would have flown the packages subsonically
to their delivery points in Europe. Ron Ponder,
a vice president at the time, was in charge of this proposed venture. Hence, , it can be concluded as Frederick W. Smith was taking team-oriented to extending his business around the world.
