Introduction
The development of the capitalism under this neoliberal era has emerged a new dimension
corresponding to the business motives and objectives. The older days of businesses with
predictable characters have been displaced by nowadays 'sustainability with strategic planning'.
This is what makes a student of business management to be cautious and serious about
investigating the major key-parameters of strategic planning corresponding to a business. With a
comprehensive knowledge in both theory and practice only the pragmatic solutions of every day
emerging problems can be found (Gangl et al. 2013). The analysis below will be revolving round
those key-parameters that mostly seem like jargons but are the most essential and impactful
components in analyzing the methodology of an entire business organization. Being a business
management student and having a research aspiring mind, I would like to venture the key
phenomena of a business organization along with the central question of developing a team,
better to speak a force that consists of the most efficient, most intelligent and hardworking staff
who are ready to face any sort of challenge with a sporting spirit and cleverly designed
techniques. The studies and the rigorous researches that I have done have made me to conclude
that the key challenge of developing a business program lies upon the development of a work
force of efficient staffs with creative ideas and innovative skills. The entire analysis below will
thus be developed upon the comprehensive assessments of the given key points.

Optimism
Optimism is the first and foremost thing that a company must have to pursue a strong and
efficient business organization. That is optimism which develops the creative ideas to be
implemented in an innovative way (Erl, 2016). That is the fundamental question that must be
investigated regarding the framework of an efficient work-culture and the business organization.
How can this be effective will be examined with the following key points those I have found
relevant regarding a positively thinking work-culture.
 Employee’s strength should be learnt.
 Knowing the employee’s holistically
 A strong incentive system
 Pulse of the workplace should be checked daily
 Leaders should align with their purpose
 Work arrangements should be flexible
 One-to-One interactions should be carried out with each employee regularly
 A team goal should be set
 A regular training system for the employees should be conducted by the leaders
 The leaders should establish their personal values inside the workplace
The abovementioned key points develop the model which is to be set up while developing an
optimistic workplace and work-culture. The optimistic work culture helps to develop an active
exhibition of creativity and innovations from the employees. That is how an efficient team can be
developed.
