Would you rather be your own boss or be part of a strong team?

If you want to walk fast, walk alone. If you want to walk far, walk together. Perhaps the best is to strike a balance. Especially now when skills have become focused and co-dependent. Personally though I prefer to walk far to team is the way to go 👍

I do see the perks of being your own boss but I enjoy it better when I work with trusted and experienced people who will also give what it takes to succeed. The only problem is such people are hard to come by and I count myself lucky for having such a team.

I would start as part of a strong team to learn from experienced peers then go solo as my own boss. I've been working as my own boss since 6 years and I have to admit I fly when I work on my own. Building my own basic products is a dream come true. Admittedly I learned a lot when I worked as part of a team but crawled when trying to implement my own projects with them. Even though they were validates and generating real business results.

cop out answer incoming - my own boss as part of a strong team? :') i like lean teams of complementary skill stacks, domains and context!

As an ex-product manager at Google, I used to think being part of a strong team was everything. But once I started building my own newsletter this year, I realized that being your own boss is the ultimate freedom. You live life on your own terms, and if you want to build a strong team around you, you get the best of both worlds.

They are not mutually exclusive: you can always be the boss of a strong team you lead:) But, on a serious note, I think a lot of learning opportunities come from working in a strong team. You can then pour this knowledge and experience into passion projects where you are your own boss and should all the responsibility.

If we are talking about start up environment, then Strong Team 100%. If the hierarchy structure is flexible and "young, then you don't need to be a boss to enjoy work

Starting out I will be a part of a strong team once I acquire required skills I can be my own boss.

I think that each person can decide for himself. If he has all the necessary skills let him work alone. If there is no confidence that he will manage, then the team will help.

Yeah, of course, I will be my own boss. Because I don't like to follow others deamination.
