Consider the different types of team members who would be essential in developing a new business or entrepreneurial venture. What skills and talents do you feel would need to be included?

 Like A Chess, Each Moves Counts, Each Pieces Counts

A great team builder and leader should actively contribute to a group in order to complete allocated tasks, meet the goals and achieve the overall objectives. Members of the team must understand their common objective is to achieve organizational success together and share the responsibilities all along the journey. Like a chess game, different pieces on the board contribute their special functions. The player is like a leader or a team builder trying to win the game by "managing" those pieces. But, don't get me wrong. I do not mean that they are just "pieces". Instead, they are all necessary partners and members of a team. Everyone has their unique gifts and also not everyone has worked hard and learned the same techniques in the past. So, each member's movement(talents) is unique. For a knight, it may move two squares vertically and one square horizontally, or two squares horizontally and one square vertically. Now, consider you want to win the game, all you need is wise on each step until you actually win. 

AI, A Necessary Supporter

Understanding the different types of team members on your team can help you work together as a team much better. That's why teamwork makes the dream work. When we try to build a team for developing a new business or entrepreneurial venture, it is necessary to find your right members(your pieces on the board). I know we all want one king and 15 queens. However, that's not going to happen. If you get one king and 15 queens, no one wants to play with you when they don't get the same pieces. Back to the topic, I think if the member all get the same talents like all of them are queens, it is very hard to manage and communicate with them. And ultimately, it is very likely to fail since they all know the same things and cannot support each other while beaten by the common disadvantages. Therefore, we need an AI specialist to truly help us do things objectively and make more comprehensive decisions. Machines can make their decisions based only on data instead of emotion. 

Why?

Think about a situation, when a team needs to achieve an objective, they have to think and trying to understand it, work out a plan, execute it, and check it to get the best result. In each step, we all tend to choose things we have already familiar with. For example, in the forming stage, we may choose the people we like not need, and even though we choose what we need, how can you know you actually need them? AI(Artificial Intelligence) can support each step we move. Although it is not absolutely correct, it still gains our confidence and reduces the mistakes we possibly make.

Additional Skills and Talents Would Need To Be Included

It would be wise to have at least one data scientist in your team. Data scientists are big data wranglers, gathering and analyzing large sets of data. A data scientist’s role combines computer science, statistics, and mathematics. They analyze and process to create actionable plans for a team.
