Hire slow

Within a small business that requires having a team, it’s essential to have the right people on the team. As the team gets bigger, it’s incrementally more challenging because every extra team member added, adds a new relationship between them and the existing team members. For example, if you have a team of 2 and add 1 member, the new member creates 2 new relationships. However, when you have a team of 20 and you add 1 member, it creates 20 new relationships. It’s so important to hire carefully. After all, one bad apple could spoil the bunch.
