Читать книгу Lead Upwards - Sarah E. Brown - Страница 16

You can be a “team of one” as a “head of” at a startup for longer than you'd think. I did it for several quarters before hiring my team in a recent executive role. But you can't reach any kind of scale without growing your organization. If you can't hire a team, that can be a dealbreaker impediment to your success. First‐time executives often fail to attract the best talent, because candidates may feel that their abilities as a leader are yet to be proven.

We'll dig into how first‐time startup executives can succeed at hiring in later chapters, including how to build an inclusive, high‐performing team that will support each other's success. If you want to be an executive (or already are one), be prepared to adopt a “servant leader” mindset and stretch your skills in effective management as one of your highest priorities.
