Creating and growing a team in business can be a beneficial and advantageous step, however it also requires a certain level of organization and management skills. Making the transition from individual brand to collective team carries both pros and cons- an individual focus relies on individual progress while a team-based approach requires delegation of tasks and the need to manage a group of people. The best approach as you start to make that transition is to focus conversation around a "we" rather than an "I" or "me" sentiment, and take time to develop a detailed plan of divided responsibilities as you grow your team. Companies should also strive for a balance between control and independence, and invest in their people and operations to ensure they have the capability to successfully grow and progress.
