Team First: How Smart Founders Build Loyal A-Players From Day One

Your startup will only grow as fast as your team. Here’s how great founders build powerful teams:

1. Hire for Energy, Not Just Skills: Skills can be taught. Passion and grit cannot.

2. Culture Isn’t Ping Pong: Set values early—respect, ownership, communication—then hire by them.

3. Transparent Leadership: Share wins, losses, goals. Openness builds trust.

4. Micro-Coaching Moments: Weekly 1:1s with honest feedback help talent thrive.

5. Celebrate Effort, Not Just Outcomes: Encouragement keeps your team inspired—even through hard weeks.
