Bill Gates

Bill Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft, which became the world’s largest PC software company.

Team oriented- a joint action by a group of individuals, in which each person contributes their interests and opinions to the unity and efficiency of the group. Teams can never work without team-oriented.

While Bill Gates was attending the prestigious Lakeside School in Seattle, he got the first exposure to computer. Along with his school friend Paul Allen, he began ditching class to work in the school's computer room. They started entered business together. That time Bill Gate was just 15 years old. Both of them netted $20,000 with Traf-O-Data, which is a program they developed to measure traffic flow in the Seattle area.

December 1974, Paul Allen showed Gates a magazine article. That is about the world's first microcomputer, the Altair 8800. Gates and Allen called the manufacturer, MITS, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. They told the president they had written a version of the popular computer language BASIC for the Altair. Actually they wrote nothing. They started working day and night in Harvard's computer lab once he said he’d like to see it. Because they did not have an Altair to work on, so they were forced to simulate it on different computers.

When Allen flew to Albuquerque to test the program on the Altair, neither he nor Gates was sure it would run. But run it did. After that Gates dropped out of Harvard and moved with Allen to Albuquerque. There they officially established Microsoft and it became successful until now. MITS collapsed shortly thereafter, but Gates and Allen were already writing software for other computer start-ups including Commodore, Apple and Tandy Corp. They both were ready for everything and this shows Bill Gates is a team-oriented entrepreneur who did everything together with his school friend Paul Allen. Good team-oriented starts with a clear vision and the right culture and end with success.
