go team

Growing a business is a team effort. Sure, owners set the vision and assume the most risk and accountability, but it's often the team executing that vision that will ultimately make or break a business.

That's what we hear from successful female founders when we ask for advice for budding entrepreneurs. You can't (and shouldn't) do everything yourself. Hire the right people and empower them to help your business thrive.

Here are a few resources to help you grow and groom your team:

How to hire employees wisely from Forbes
How to build a successful team from the New York Times
Why employees need both recognition and appreciation from the Harvard Business Review
How to be an effective team member from Entrepreneur
How the best leaders make time for their team from Inc.

the last word

"Know all the parts of your business but don't allow yourself to control all the parts. People who control cannot be great leaders. Hire well and hire the best for the role and do not mold anyone to a position they are not capable of achieving their best. "
